Global Girlhood Report 2024: Fragile Futures Girls’ Rights, Child Marriage and Fragility

As fragile states struggle to provide basic services such as healthcare, education and protection, girls face disproportionate risks. Girls face the dual threat of child marriage and fragility, as conflict, climate change and economic instability increase their vulnerability to early marriage and rights abuses

This year’s youth-friendly Global Girlhood Report focuses on the intersection of fragility, child marriage and girls’ rights, highlighting how crises are exacerbating girls’ existing vulnerabilities worldwide. Drawing on new data from Save the Children’s analysis of the regions most affected by fragility and child marriage, the report tells stories of the resilience of girls who are standing up for their rights and demanding stronger protections.
