A report by the Plan Foundation, released in Colombia, has highlighted the scale of child marriage and forced early unions in the country. According to data collected by the organization, five in every 100 adolescent girls ages 14 to 17 are in such unions, while more than 2,000 minors are involved in forced early relationships.
So 5% of girls?
Maybe the writer had never seen a percentage before and had to have it explained to them and decided nobody else should have their brain tested thus.
