WASHINGTON, March 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- In honor of International Women's Day and the upcoming Gender Equality Forum, technology company
Fraym is releasing findings from two initiatives that used cutting-edge data and AI/ML models to better understand complex issues central to gender equality. For both projects, one funded by a grant from the

Globally, there are more than 650 million women and girls that were wed as children. Two years ago, the

Fraym responded to this call and has partnered with leading actors like UNICEF, Girls Not Brides, and the Population Council as part of a Gates Foundation supported learning consortium. Through the initiative, Fraym: (1) estimated and mapped child marriage prevalence down to the 1km2 level across time and space; (2) analyzed community contexts; and (3) explored whether and how several risk factors might be associated with higher child marriage prevalence. This was done for seven countries. Access
