Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'll be sharing my time with MP Fragiskatos.
Thank you for your testimony. Early on, you mentioned that the number one reason was poverty and lack of opportunities. In some of the reading I've been doing beforehand, I've read is that some of the girls have been pulled out of school prematurely because of the belief that education reduces their marriage prospects. Leaving school in turn decreases their potential economic independence and hinders their advancement.
Can you elaborate on this? You mentioned that the number one reason was poverty. How does lack of education combine with that?
