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.
