UN Declares November 27 as Day Against Child and Forced Marriage

The move marks a significant global commitment to addressing the widespread issue of underage and coerced unions. Assam, an Indian state that has been notably proactive in cracking down on child marriages, stands to benefit from the added international recognition of this cause. The UN designation is seen as a boost to ongoing efforts by governments and organizations working to end the practice worldwide.
