The situation is particularly serious in the case of the girl child. Not only do girl children continue to be subjected to traditional practices such as female genital mutilation, but many are not sent to school or are prematurely removed from school and subjected to early and forced marriages.
女童的情况更是严重，不仅仍须遵守切割女性生殖器官等传统习俗，而且许多人都上不了学或提早辍学，还要接受早婚和强迫婚姻。
