Dr. Alissa Koski, of the Institute for Health and Social Policy, and the Department of Epidemiology, Biostatistics and Occupational Health, discussed the state of child marriage in Canada on CBC Radio.

We talk to activist and child marriage survivor Payzee Mahmod, who is campaigning for a ban on marriages for anyone under 18 in the U.K.; and hear from Rowena Pinto, chief program officer for UNICEF Canada; and Alissa Koski, an assistant professor at McGill University and the co-author of a study on child marriage in Canada."
