Peterson Conference Center, Institute for International Economics 1750 Massachusetts Avenue, NW, Washington, D.C. Child marriage robs girls of their ability to reach their full potential, deprives them of education and meaningful work, and threatens them with illness, disease and even death. The negative consequences of child marriage are numerous, yet its prevalence is staggering. In South Asia, Africa and parts of Latin America, 51 million girls are married, typically to older men. In another decade, 100 million girls will be married. This occurs even in countries that have made child marriage illegal. This forum will examine broad trends in the practice of child marriage, what community organizations in Ethiopia and Senegal are doing to address the problem, and the implications for U.S. foreign assistance.
