Associations Between Child Marriage and Food Insecurity in Zimbabwe: A Participatory Mixed Methods Study

In BMC Public Health, the Women’s Refugee Commission’s Katherine Gambier and Dr. Janna Metzler authored this journal article on child marriage. Child marriage is a global crisis underpinned by gender inequality and discrimination against girls. A small evidence base suggests that food insecurity crises can be both a driver and a consequence of child marriage. However, these linkages are still ambiguous. This paper aims to understand how food insecurity influences child marriage practices in Chiredzi, Zimbabwe.
