What counts as success in child marriage interventions? A discussion on age, agency, and measuring change that matters

Child, Early & Forced Marriage & Unions (CEFMU) and Sexuality Working Group, 2 Feb 2022, 14:00 PM GMT

The Working Group and other researchers, practitioners and advocates from around the world will convene to discuss:

- Why the age of marriage as a sole indicator for success in CEFMU interventions is insufficient and potentially misleading

- What alternatives to the age of marriage indicators can be utilized to measure progress, such as indicators that capture choice, agency and decision-making, including those related to sexuality and reproduction

- What organizations working with adolescent girls need—including from their funders—to dismantle the root causes of CEFMU, track meaningful progress and learn from their work
