This article seeks to open a dialogue on the issue of child, early and forced marriage and unions in Latin America and the Caribbean by analysing the findings of two research studies undertaken specifically in Guatemala. These studies are complementary and address the violation of the rights of adolescent girls from the onset of the unionpregnancy vis-à-vis the analysis of the social construction of hegemonic masculinities and their linkages with child marriages and unions, aimed at identifying possible transformations of the unequal power relations that sustain this harmful practice, as well as providing potential strategies for the agenda on engaging men and boys in gender equality
