In Northern Ghana, as soon as a girl gets married, she often has to stop school and her husband takes control. More often than not, she becomes the (too-)young mother of a child born into a new generation, destined to grow up in poverty. Alongside poverty, the taboo associated with premarital sex is a major driver of the high number of child marriages. To sustainably improve Girls' Health, Education and rights, enhanced efforts are needed to build their capacity to make safe choices.
