Project description

Forced marriage/child marriage continues to be widespread in developing countries. Due to migration it is spreading to developed regions as well. Forced marriage/child marriage is considered to be a violation of basic human rights of women and girls. A better comprehension of the determinants and impact of migration can contribute to improved policies and interventions.
