Show Notes
The Iraqi Parliament is passing a law that will permit children as young as nine to marry. There are calls for the law to be abolished, as activists warn it could legalise ‘child rape’. According to UNICEF, one in five girls globally marry as children. Pat spoke to Juliane Schmucker, Head of Programming at Plan International Ireland.
