Zambia has one of the highest child marriage rates in the world with 42% of women aged 20-24 years married by the age of 18. Owing to the above facts, early child marriage has currently become a vital topic of discussion amongst several development platforms which has made it more visible to many that were unaware of its existence. https://www.wvi.org/zambia/article/situation-report-child-marriages-zambia
Take a moment and view the UNICEF Zambia #IMAGINE documentary and music video. #IMAGINE is a unique musical and technological initiative helping to highlight the tremendous challenges children face around the world. UNICEF Zambia relaunched #IMAGINE with the support of Brothers for Life Ambassadors and a host of other Zambian musicians and supporters along with school children in Itezhi-Tezhi, Mayukwayukwa in Kaoma and Mongu. Appreciate the voices of Zambia's children as they #Imagine Zambia's future. We hope you will join us. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qqJcL_z0J8&feature=emb_title
