=====Key Insights=====
CEFMU in Latin America and the Caribbean are complex phenomena linked to gender inequality, violence, poverty, and limited education. They jeopardize girls' and adolescent girls' futures, disproportionately impacting those in rural and impoverished areas, often with higher prevalence among indigenous populations. This report highlights CEFMU as both a cause and consequence of restricted autonomy for women, emphasizing the need for regional action and innovative solutions to address the gaps in development dimensions, including domestic and care tasks.  \\
