This is also included in the sub-grant program of the Project on Supporting the
Economic, Social and Cultural Rights of Disadvantaged Groups in Türkiye through
Monitoring and Advocacy Partnerships, supported by the Delegation of the European
Union to Türkiye and carried out in partnership with the Monitoring Association for Equal
Rights (ESHİD) and Human Rights Information and Documentation Systems
(HURIDOCS). We applied to engage in rights-based advocacy that demonstrates
relationality.
Our aims were;
To make visible the direct and indirect effects of the social, economic, political and
ecological consequences of the crises on child, early and forced marriage practices
in communities, households and settlements experiencing discrimination and rights
violations.
To reveal the changing dynamics of child marriages.
To produce information and data for advocacy on the solution of this problem in
intersection areas.
In addition, we aimed to influence policy priorities and resource planning allocated for
practices in order to be prepared and resilient to crises by revealing how disasters
experienced in the age of mpolycrisisaffect the deepening inequalities, deprivations and
discriminatory policies on the human rights of children and women.
On 6 February 2023, we conducted field research in Adana to answer the question of
what are the direct and indirect effects of the social, economic, political and ecological
consequences of the Kahramanmaraş centred earthquakes on the practices of child,
early and forced marriage of girls in communities, households and settlements
experiencing discrimination and rights violations.
