Topic A: Child Marriage
Topic B: Rising Rates of Maternal Mortality
Language: English
Topics:
Child marriage and maternal mortality are crucial aspects to consider in the fight for the safety and wellbeing of women. Child marriage is a practice that results in adverse effects on all areas of life for the girls involved, negatively affecting them oftentimes in perpetuity. Likewise, maternal mortality is also a dangerous phenomenon, causing harm and deaths to many women worldwide for a variety of reasons, such as inadequate healthcare, hazardous practices, pregnancies at an early age, amongst others. In both situations girls are subjected to practices they may not agree with, and forced into circumstances without safe ways to escape them. It is imperative to address these issues and find resolutions, promoting the welfare of women worldwide.
