Why is climate change fuelling child marriage?

Why is climate change fuelling child marriage?

By BBC World Service

Extreme weather, such as droughts and storms, is increasing the risk of more girls being pushed into child marriage. Graihagh Jackson speaks to girls and parents in Bangladesh who are experiencing these impacts first hand, and finds out why this is happening and what is being done to stop the problem.

A huge thanks to UNICEF and Save the Children's Gabrielle Szabo, for their help in making this programme.
