Right now, a young girl somewhere in India is fighting to stay in school.

She is trying to beat a statistic that says every second girl in India will be married before the age of 18, well before she is mentally and physically ready.

She knows that staying in school gives her a chance to break the cycle of domestic abuse and early childbirth.

Staying in school gives her a choice to build a better life.
