CHILD MARRIAGE
CHILD MARRIAGE
Child marriage, also known as early marriage, robs girls of their childhood and threatens their well-being. Girls who marry before 18 are more likely to experience domestic violence, be less educated and have worse health than those who are unmarried at that age. UNICEF works with our partners to help empower young girls and identify and address the systemic barriers to gender equality.
