State of the Worlds Girls 2025 - Child, Early and Forced Marriages and Unions
REFNo: SS3753ES
Justification:
Despite large-scale policy action and legislative reform towards addressing child marriage, the practice remains highly prevalent. There is a growing urgency in the need to spotlight efforts to end CEFMU - while the global prevalence is decreasing, it is doing so far too slowly. ICRW and Plan International research suggests child marriage persists due to the interplay of gender norms, poverty, as well as wider scale issues around weak enforcement of legislation, poor economic prospects for girls, and natural and humanitarian disasters. The persistence of child marriage is an outcome of global level crises - referred to by UNICEF as a ‘polycrisis’ – that are indicative of the global rollback on girls’ rights. There is a clear need for further evidence on the lives and contexts of the girls who are often ‘hard-to-reach’: by engaging with already married girls / girls in unions, this research can establish how we can effectively support these girls who have been missed by current child marriage interventions. Key to the research is the ability to adapt the findings to make clear, evidence driven recommendations for action that will be relevant for Plan offices focused on addressing CEFMU at the community through to the global and regional level.
Objectives:
1. 1. What are married girls’ / girls in unions’ everyday experiences across livelihoods and income, health, education, household decision-making, and agency?
2. 2. In what ways does existing legislation, service provision and policy on CEFMU support married girls? And how are these measures implemented to be inclusive of marginalized married girls?
3. 3. What support do girls in marriages / unions need to promote and safeguard their rights?
