Vaidehi Agarwalla 🔸 comments on What I thought about child marriage as a cause area, and how I’ve changed my mind

[Vaidehi Agarwalla 🔸]

Thanks for sharing this Catherine! (and congrats on your first forum post! woop!)

I really appreciate you sharing your views so openly and where you found you were wrong—and your steps for next time sound really great! I’m curious if you’ve come across Charity Entrepreneurship /​ their resources on intervention prioritization during your research?

Also, I think it would be really cool if there were group intervention-prioritization projects where people could investigate causes they think are neglected /​ promising.

(Finally, on small grammar thing: when I read the summary I was confused by this sentence:

I then found a source that undermined a key premise: child marriage is clearly harmful across a number of health metrics.

I might phrase the last sentence to be more clear that the source gave evidence against child marriage having clearly harmful health effects. At first I read it the opposite and was confused. )

Thanks Vaidehi! 🙂

I am generally familiar with Charity Entrepreneurship but had not seen the page you linked. This will be super useful as I continue this project and other future projects, thank you.

I agree, that group would be awesome!

Thanks for the wording pick up, I have rewritten the sentence so it is hopefully clearer now.
