current state of affairs

complications from pregnancy and childbirth together are the main cause of death among adolescent girls 15-19 in developing countries

50 million girls could still be at risk of being married before their 15th birthday in this decade

child marriages are declining among girls under age 15

This will rise to an average of 15.1 million girls a year, starting in 2021 until 2030, if present trends continue

In the next decade 14.2 million girls under 18 will be married every year

Over 67 million women 20-24 year old in 2010 had been married as girls.

Half were in Asia, one-fifth in Africa

Most of these girls are poor, less-educated, and living in rural areas

One out of nine girls will be married before their 15th birthday

one in three girls in developing countries (excluding China) will probably be married before they are 18.
