For the first show of 2025, we focus on that often-forgotten issue; girls' rights. Our team in Pakistan report on how climate change is resulting in a rise of child marriage in the country. Also we head to Senegal where the case of a nine-year-old girl, pregnant as a result of being raped by her Koran teacher, has sparked outrage particularly from human rights groups. Plus Annette Young talks to Memory Banda, a girls' rights activist in Malawi about how to engage communities in strengthening and protecting the rights of girls.
