As we continue the series on Ending Sexual Violence. My guest speaker and I discuss the issue of child marriage, which is prevalent in a number of African countries. We discuss how child marriage is a form of sexual violence against young girls regardless of cultural norms or customary laws. A child is a child and not bride.
