- In still developing countries, one in every 3 girls gets married before the age of 18. One third of all the girls of developing countries (china not included) are married off while still being children. They face floods of human rights abuses and are more prone to sexual and physical violence. They are made to take domestic responsibilities rather than going to school. Then they are not even able to advocate themselves and for their rights.
- Marriage is then followed by pregnancy even if the girl is not ready physically and mentally. Every single day, girls aged under 18 gives birth in developing countries which is around 7 million in a year. Adolescent pregnancy is the result of absence of choices rather than a deliberate choice. Pregnancy integrates their vulnerability, taking enormous tolls on their earning potential and education. These things vastly results to increased risks on their health. Complications in pregnancy and childbirth are the leading cause of death for the girls of 15-19 years of age.
- The only solutions to these problems are empowerment of girls. Start valuing girls as equal as boys and allow them to receive education, live violence free life and health information. In this way, they will be able to stand for themselves and thus become healthier by meeting their full potential, benefiting the whole society and the world. Around 63% of the girls are yet to achieve gender parity in secondary school enrollment as they are lagging behind. These severe gender disparities in primary education have been reduced to half.
Governments need to invest in teenage girls in ways which give them entitlement so that they can make their own life decisions and earn a living for themselves in order to become equal with their male counterparts. A girl who is able to realize her full potential is able to contribute to the economic and social progress of her community as well as nation.
