I found this on the DFID government website.
Its a dramatization of a true story.
There are also some key facts taken off this webpage:
- Worldwide, more than 60 million women aged 20 to 24 were married before they turned 18.
- In South Asia, over 48% of 15 to 24 year olds were married before they reached 18.
- In Africa the average figure is 42% (though in some countries in East and West Africa, the figure is as high as 60%). In Latin America and the Caribbean the figure is 29%.
- UK aid provides approximately 20% of IPPF’s unrestricted income.
- A person received a contraceptive service at an IPPF service delivery point 131 million times in 2009. One in every three IPPF clients is a young person.
