International Day of the Girl Child: A Kolkata Girl's Journey from Risk to Hope Against Child Marriage

On International Day of the Girl Child, we spotlight how poverty fuels child marriage for many girls in India. In Kolkata, a 16-year-old nearly became another statistic - until BITAN, a local NGO with Just Rights for Children, and her teachers stepped in to change her story. Today, we celebrate her courage and the organisations fighting against this social crime.
