MADRID: Plan International is calling for urgent, concerted and integrated action to end the global problem of child marriage.The child rights organisation is set to raise this growing issue with the Human Rights Council, with the hope of reaching a UN General Assembly Resolution by 2015.According to Plan International s new report a girl s right to say no to marriage: Working to end child marriage and keep girls in school, launching on Friday in Geneva, Switzerland, child marriage is not just a development issue, but that there is a growing international consensus on the severe impact it has upon children s human rights and it shows no signs of stopping.The UN predicts that over 140 million girls will become child brides in the decade leading up to 2020 if this phenomenon continues, which equates to 14 million every year or nearly 39,000 girls married every day.The report says early child marriage affects young girls in many ways,

At the same time, education is considered one of the most important factors in delaying the age of marriage of girls, and giving girls more choices and opportunities. At Plan International,

Plan is now calling upon the international community to ensure that child marriage is consistently raised as a human rights issue,
