Statement of Malawi at the UNGA72

Women/girls: “The inclusion and empowerment of women begin with a focus on the girl child. We need to do away with early marriages. Indeed, I am pleased to note a global drop of marriages from 36% to 26% over a period of two years since 2015. [...] By law, Malawi 4 provides an opportunity for girls to grow, mature and make informed choices about their education and future life. Girls are protected by law in this regard."
