ICRW President Sarah Degnan Kambou, a panelist during the opening ceremonies of the first-ever G(irls)20 Summit, discusses the dire consequences of child marriage and the need for all governments to invest in girls’ education. The summit brought together one girl from each of the G20 member countries on June 15 to 18 to discuss how girls and women can help solve some of the world’s greatest challenges. Modeled after the G20, the inaugural G(irls)20 Summit was spearheaded by Canada’s Belinda Stronach Foundation.
