The global COVID-19 pandemic is changing the way we live our lives – and the way we carry out our work. Civil society, governments, and NGOs alike are having to rethink programmes and policies across all areas of work. Here we highlight the latest news, resources and opportunities to engage with others so that collectively we can continue to focus on our mission: end child marriage.
This brief provides insights, recommendations and resources for responding to the needs of adolescent girls during and after this crisis, including those at risk of early marriage, married girls, and those in informal unions.
We need to work together as a partnership to make sure that girls at risk of child marriage and married girls don’t get left behind during the COVID-19 response and recovery. That’s why we’ve addressed the key issues in our own resources, which cover the pandemic, its impacts on girls and adolescents, and our recommendations for a sustainable response. We’ve also created a series of blogs to share external documents, organised by themes including gender-based violence, sexual and reproductive health and rights, economic impacts, girls’ education, feminist analysis and regional perspectives. You can access our resources and blog series – and a selection of key external resources for each theme – here and through our Resource Centre.
