Each year, 15 million girls around the world are married before reaching age 18, limiting their opportunity. Child marriage leads to higher rates of maternal and child mortality, lower educational attainment, and lower lifetime earnings for women. How can we #endchildmarriage? Supporting quality girls’ education in secondary school is one step, as we’re doing in countries like #Bangladesh, through IDA, our fund for the poorest. #IDAWorks http://wrld.bg/tY5F303sEoQ
