This report, undertaken by the National Children's and Youth Law Centre (NCYLC), provides children's rights-based analysis and evaluation of the current responses of service providers to child victims of forced marriage in Australia.
It presents research into current practice, examines the legal framework that applies to forced child marriage in Australia, identifies available protections, and surveys the views and experiences of caseworkers and practitioners on the issue.
On these bases, the authors make recommendations for law and policy makers with regard to effective prevention and response to child marriage in Australia.
