This Bride Is Only 11. UNICEF Is Doing A Powerful Campaign To End Child Marriage.

Lilly is the 11 year-old bride who represents the 15 million little girls who would be married this year (just as every year). Bridal Musings and UNICEF explain that: “The sad truth is that a girl who is married as a child is more likely to be out of school, experience domestic violence, and become infected with HIV/AIDS. She is more likely to have children when she herself is still a child, and is far more likely to die due to complications during pregnancy and childbirth.” Hence, they are determined to end child marriage and bring awareness. This is real problem, happening everywhere in the world.
