Extreme weather, such as droughts and storms, is increasing the
risk of more girls being pushed into child marriage. Graihagh
Jackson speaks to girls and parents in Bangladesh who are
experiencing these impacts first hand, and finds out why this is
happening and what is being done to stop the problem.

A huge thanks to UNICEF and Save the Children's Gabrielle Szabo,
for their help in making this programme.
