Marry Me, Later: Ending Child Marriage in IndiaDasra
This document discusses child marriage in India and opportunities to address it. Some key points:
- Close to half of girls in India are married before age 18, denying them health, education and other rights.
- Efforts over the past decade have brought greater recognition and government action on the issue. However, child marriage remains underfunded and sustains intergenerational poverty and social issues.
- The report identifies priority intervention areas like education, vocational training, and empowering gatekeepers and recommends 30 high-potential non-profits working in this space. Increased funding and support is needed to scale effective programs that empower girls and reduce child marriage.
Child marriage is defined as any formal marriage or informal union where one or both parties are under 18 years of age. An estimated 15 million girls globally marry each year before age 18. Religious, cultural, and financial reasons are cited to explain the practice of child marriage. Consequences for child brides can include physical and mental health risks, as well as lack of educational and economic opportunities. Initiatives to prevent child marriage focus on empowering girls through education, community engagement, and advocacy campaigns.
Child marriage is a curse for our society. This presentation will give you an idea of child marriage, scenario of child marriage in Bangladesh and in the world, causes of child marriage and how we can prevent child marriage including some cases.
Each year, 15 million girls are married before the age of 18. That is 28 girls every minute – married off too soon, endangering their personal development and wellbeing. With more young people on our planet than ever before, child marriage is a human rights violation that we must end to achieve a fairer future for all.
Child brides are often disempowered, dependent on their husbands and deprived of their fundamental rights to health, education and safety. Neither physically nor emotionally ready to become wives and mothers, child brides are at greater risk of experiencing dangerous complications in pregnancy and childbirth, becoming infected with HIV/AIDS and suffering domestic violence. With little access to education and economic opportunities, they and their families are more likely to live in poverty.
In Nigeria, 43% of girls are married off before their 18th birthday. 17% are married before they turn 15. The prevalence of child marriage varies widely from one region to another, with figures as high as 76% in the North West region and as low as 10% in the South East
Child marriage is a significant problem in India, with over 15 million children married each year and 15.4 million expected to be married by 2030. The Prohibition of Child Marriage Act was passed in 2006 to address issues with previous laws and allow children forced into marriage to annul their marriages. Child marriage occurs mainly due to tradition, gender roles, poverty, and security concerns. It negatively impacts girls' education, health, and economic opportunities and increases their risk of violence and HIV/AIDS. To address this problem, communities must be educated, girls empowered, and traditional leaders and men engaged to change social norms.

Child marriage legitimizes human rights violations and abuses of girls under the guise of culture, honor, tradition, and religion. It continues a sequence of discrimination that begins at a girl’s birth and is reinforced in her community, in her marriage and which continues throughout her entire life. Child marriage, therefore, is a way of dealing with the perceived problems that girls represent for families, the problems that arise from the low value given to women and girls.

Causes and Health Consequence of Early Marriage as Perceived by Egyptian Fema...iosrjce
This document summarizes a study that compares the perceived causes and health consequences of early marriage among Egyptian females in rural versus urban areas. A sample of 200 early-married females aged 15-49 were interviewed using a questionnaire. Results showed the average age of marriage was lower in rural (14.94 years) than urban (15.58) areas. Rural females reported more miscarriages and preterm births. Education levels and employment opportunities were lower for rural females. The study aims to understand perceptions that could help address early marriage and improve maternal and child health.
The document discusses child marriage, which is defined as marriage under the age of 18. Child marriage can negatively impact education as young brides have limited support to continue schooling. It also places significant responsibilities on children who are not ready, both physically and mentally. Health risks for child brides include physical damage from early sexual encounters, higher rates of maternal and infant mortality, and greater risk of HIV/STDs. Causes of child marriage include poverty, gender discrimination, tradition, lack of legal protection and awareness. India has a very high rate of child marriage, with 47% of girls married before 18. Niger has the highest rate globally, with 75% of girls married under 18. The document suggests actions individuals can take to help end
Livia Bellina is a doctor who has worked in developing countries since 2009 to promote education and create networks using mobile technology to improve access to healthcare. She discusses the suffering of women and girls in these countries, including malnutrition, pregnancy-related illnesses and injuries from early childbirth. Child marriage is also an issue, with girls as young as 9 being married to older men. Child marriage is driven by gender inequality, poverty, traditions and insecurity, and means girls often must leave school. It puts girls at high risk of domestic violence and early pregnancy.
The document discusses various issues facing the girl child in Indian society, from female feticide and infanticide to discrimination in education and child marriage. Some key points:
1) Female fetuses are often selectively aborted through sex determination tests, and female infants are still abandoned or killed by the dozens.
2) Society views girls as a burden due to dowry costs and the expectation that they will eventually belong to another family.
3) Despite laws, girls face discrimination and lack of access to education. Many are pulled out of school early or not allowed to pursue higher education. Child marriage also remains a problem.
The document is a report from Vitamin Stree, a content platform in India, on the results of their sex survey of 2500 young Indian women and men. Some key findings from the survey include:
- Most respondents reported learning about sex before age 13, primarily from friends or porn/the internet rather than sex education classes. Nearly 50% of respondents became sexually active between ages 14-18.
- More women are now watching porn than ever before, though many find the lack of female-centric porn to be a turn-off.
- Sexual health is still seen as primarily a woman's responsibility even though both genders should be visiting gynecologists regularly.
- For many women
This document discusses issues facing girl children in India from fetal stage through adolescence. It notes that discrimination begins with sex-selective abortion and that girls have poorer nutrition and health outcomes than boys. Girls have lower education levels due to high dropout rates and parental reluctance.

Women’s and Girls’ Wellbeing as a Critical Underpinning of India’s Nutritional Challenge" on December 10, 2018, in New Delhi
Bangladesh has a high rate of child marriage, with 66% of girls married before age 18. Child marriage denies children's rights to health, education, and freedom from violence. It often results from traditional customs, poverty, viewing girls as economic burdens, and lower dowry costs. The legal age of marriage is 18 for girls but enforcement is lacking. Reducing poverty, increasing education, empowering females, strict law application, and awareness campaigns, especially in rural areas, are needed to curb this practice. Despite initiatives, child marriage rates remain unchanged, so government and NGOs must strengthen advocacy and outreach.
More than half of the women in India are married before the legal minimum age of 18. By contrast, men in the same age group get married at a median age of 23.4 years. Sixteen percent of men aged 20-49 are married by age 18 and 28 percent by age 20.

Expo is the most significant annual health and social care event in the calendar, uniting more NHS and care leaders, commissioners, clinicians, voluntary sector partners, innovators and media than any other health and care event.
Expo 15 returned to Manchester and was hosted once again by NHS England. Around 5000 people a day from health and care, the voluntary sector, local government, and industry joined together at Manchester Central Convention Centre for two packed days of speakers, workshops, exhibitions and professional development.
This year, Expo was more relevant and engaging than ever before, happening within the first 100 days of the new Government, and almost 12 months after the publication of the NHS Five Year Forward View. It was also a great opportunity to check on and learn from the progress of Greater Manchester as the area prepares to take over a £6 billion devolved health and social care budget, pledging to integrate hospital, community, primary and social care and vastly improve health and well-being.

The document discusses several issues facing girl children in India, including female infanticide and foeticide, child marriage, inadequate nutrition, disparities in education, trafficking, sexual harassment, and lack of safety. It notes that the practice of eliminating female fetuses has led to millions of missing girls. Child marriage violates girls' rights and can lead to health risks. Girls often receive inferior nutrition compared to boys. Fewer girls receive education due to factors like early marriage and household responsibilities. Trafficking disproportionately affects girls for exploitation and crimes against women are very common in India. The government has implemented various policies and programs to promote girls' welfare and development.

1) Around one in four 18-24 year olds reported experiences of severe physical violence, sexual abuse, or neglect in childhood.
2) Levels of physical, sexual, and verbal abuse reported by 18-24 year olds have declined over the past 30 years.
3) Almost one in five 11-17 year olds reported being physically attacked, raped/sex
Child marriages or underage marriage has become a global tragedy in this decade. Each year , 15 million girls are married before age of 18. That is 28 girls in every minute and 1 in every 2 seconds. Lets create awareness against child marriages and together will make a difference.
This document discusses the crisis of child sexual abuse in Nigeria. It provides statistics showing that 1 in 4 girls will be sexually abused by age 18 and children who are abused are 10 times more likely to attempt suicide. The effects of this abuse are dysfunctional individuals and society. The organization, Center for Sex Education and Family Life, aims to educate 1 million teenagers and reach 10,000 schools by 2023 to promote sexual purity and prevent abuse through various programs and workshops. It calls for individuals to donate and become members to support this important cause.
This document discusses different approaches to sex education in schools, including full sex education, abstinence-only education, and a middle ground approach. It notes that nearly half of women who have abortions did not use birth control, and over a quarter did not think they would get pregnant. Rates of teen pregnancy and STDs in the US are high compared to other developed countries. There is an ongoing debate around whether schools should distribute birth control and discuss relationships or take a more limited factual approach and leave broader discussions to parents.

1) The document discusses the issue of pre-marital sex in the Philippines, noting that while the Philippine society considers it immoral, studies show that 32% of young Filipinos aged 15-24 engage in pre-marital sex.
2) Most of these early sexual encounters are unprotected, exposing young people to risks of unwanted pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases like HIV/AIDS.
3) While the government and NGOs have implemented programs to address these issues, liberal social norms mean more young people are engaging in pre-marital sex regardless, challenging traditional views of virginity and sexuality. However, individuals still need to consider the responsibilities and integrity that come with such actions.
China's one-child policy was intended to slow population growth but also skewed the country's gender balance by encouraging sex-selective abortions if the first child was female. However, the policy was not strictly one-child and allowed second or third children in many areas. Recent data shows that Chinese families with multiple children disproportionately contribute to the gender imbalance by favoring sons for second children through sex-selective abortions if the first child is female. Economic reforms in China may have also encouraged the gender imbalance by giving women more ability to determine fetal sex. Loosening the one-child policy may not correct the imbalance since the preference exists for families to have both a son and a daughter.
The document discusses creating safe spaces for children and discusses India's legal framework for protecting children from sexual offenses. It outlines key laws such as the POCSO Act of 2012 and Amendment of 2019.

The group identified that a lack of adequate sex education is harmful to students. They believe teaching abstinence-only is not enough, as some teens will not choose abstinence. Their proposed solution is to implement a new, reformed health class that is given an hour each school day. This would decrease teen pregnancy and STDs by providing more comprehensive education about safe sex practices and the consequences of unprotected sex. The class would teach students how to protect themselves regardless of their sexuality. The group believes the federal government should mandate this approach nationwide as issues like STDs are global problems.
The document discusses issues related to street children and child abuse in the Philippines and worldwide.

1. LVCT Health is a Kenyan NGO that provides HIV, SRH services and conducts research. They implemented the One2One Sanitary Pad Initiative to distribute pads and provide SRH information to girls in schools.
2. Over 5,000 girls in 17 schools received sanitary pads, underwear, and SRH information through open forums. School attendance improved during periods and demand for hotline information increased.
3. Integrating pad distribution with credible SRH education was effective for reaching girls. Involving education officials helped identify schools in need, and understanding each school ensured appropriate interventions.
The document provides an overview of child sexual abuse in churches and society. It discusses:
1) Surveys from the 1970s-1980s found that approximately 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 10 boys experienced sexual abuse before age 16, showing shocking levels of abuse in the community.
2) Research on the Catholic Church found that approximately 4% of priests in the US had abuse allegations, and some evidence suggests higher rates in Australia of 4.8-5.4% of priests.
3) Limited evidence suggests abuse rates are much lower in other churches than Catholicism, though more research is needed. The author's study of the Anglican Church found 191 abuse reports against 135 individuals over 20 years, representing

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
