In April 2024, RAF completed a desk review on the impact of child marriage on children living with disabilities in the MENA region.
The desk review study demonstrates that marriage among children with disabilities is present in contexts where child marriage is practiced in MENA. This must be acknowledged and brought into RAF members’ current work on policy, advocacy, and programming to prevent child marriage in the region.
The impact of child marriage on children with disabilities shows that it seriously affects their overall well-being and dignity. Child marriage leads to a cycle of violence, particularly for girls living with disabilities.
The desk review was written by Shirin Kiani, Disability and Inclusion Specialist Consultant and presented at a RAF thematic webinar on 29 April 2024 that was attended by more than 40 RAF members.
