Child marriage is the betrothal of girls and boys below the age of 18.[1]

In the Ivory Coast, child marriage is a prevalent issue within the country and affects millions of residents on a day-to-day basis.[2] Recent efforts have been done to reduce its presence within the country, however, a lack of funds and unregistered births have significantly hindered its progress[3] and progress has stagnated in recent years.[4]
