Integrating the Response to Child Marriage in East Africa
East Africa has some of the highest rates of child marriage. Roughly one in three girls is married as a child in Uganda and Tanzania, and about half or more of girls in South Sudan, Eritrea, and Somalia marry before age 18. “Child Marriage in Humanitarian Settings: Integrating the Response to Child Marriage” is a two-year initiative to engage feminist and women-led civil society organizations, experts, and practitioners to learn how best to enhance coordination and collaboration with humanitarian actors to end child marriage and support already married girls in forcibly displaced and crisis-affected communities in East Africa.
