This landmark UNFPA report documents the scope, prevalence and inequities associated with child marriage.
It suggests prioritised actions to reduce and eventually eliminate child marriage, and calls for more investment in cross-cutting policies and strategies that focus on changing social norms.
It also profiles 10 countries with the highest rates of child marriage.
Finally, it calls for individual countries to collect and analyse its own data to help target "hotspot" areas where high numbers of girls are at risk.
