Description
Marrying too young has lifelong effects: on a girl’s body as much as on her education and career. We explore what is behind a sharp decline in child marriage in parts of Ethiopia.

And, a chat—as well as a hard-fought match—with Africa’s first World Scrabble Champion. For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy
