An unknown future is unfolding for all of us, and while many make the effort to adapt and move with the changes happening in every area of society, it’s also unveiled a host of issues that the covid-19 has impacted.

In this week’s episode of #workingfromhomepodcast, Nafisa reads from an article that makes an unsettling revelation about the surge in child marriages in regions of the world where the virus has overturned the economy.  Devastatingly, the progress made to stop child marriages has been set back approximately a decade.
