We are in a time of spiralling ecological, economic and social crises, particularly the climate and biodiversity crisis. Conflict, climate disasters, the ongoing effects of COVID19 and the cost of living are increasing the risk of child marriage and threaten to reverse progress on girls' rights. Evidence from the last 30 years shows that conflict-affected girls are 20 per cent more at risk of child marriage than girls living outside conflict zones.[8] Children's rights organisation Save the Children has called on governments around the world to conduct research to better understand how the 4Cs (COVID, Conflict, Climate Change and the rising Cost of Living) can be prevented from reversing progress towards ending child marriage, and to keep the promises made to girls in their own laws and in global commitments such as the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Sustainable Development Goals. Flying Broom Women's Communication and Research Association continues to work to improve national laws and practices to prevent child, early and forced marriages, which is a violation of human rights, and to protect and advance rights through regulations in line with international legislation. We hope that the field observations and data in this report will not only provide information to civil society organisations working for the prevention of child marriage, but also encourage governments to produce up-to-date and country-wide data, as data-based advocacy is critical in transforming social policies and putting pressure on decision-makers.
