Increasing rates of girls&amp;rsquo; education, proactive government investments in adolescent girls, and strong public messaging around the illegality of child marriage and the harm it causes attributed to the shift.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From one in four to approximately one in five, child marriages have seen a decline world over in the past 10 years, a Unicef report released on Monday said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The proportion of women who were married as children decreased by 15% in the last decade, with south Asia witnessing the largest decline (more than a third, from nearly 50% to 30%) owing largely to progress in India.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Increasing rates of girls&amp;rsquo; education, proactive government investments in adolescent girls, and strong public messaging around the illegality of child marriage and the harm it causes are among the reasons attributed to the shift.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;When a girl is forced to marry as a child, she faces immediate and lifelong consequences. Her odds of finishing school decrease while her odds of being abused by her husband and suffering complications during pregnancy increase,&amp;rdquo; said Anju Malhotra, Unicef&amp;rsquo;s principal gender advisor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;There are also huge societal consequences, and higher risk of intergenerational cycles of poverty,&amp;rdquo; she said, adding that &amp;ldquo;any reduction is welcome news, but we&amp;rsquo;ve got a long way to go&amp;rdquo;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The total number of girls married in childhood is now estimated at 12 million a year, shows the data.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The new figures point to an accumulated global reduction of 25 million fewer marriages than would have been anticipated under global levels 10 years ago.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, to end the practice by 2030 &amp;mdash; the target set out in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) &amp;mdash; progress must be significantly accelerated. Without further acceleration, more than 150 million additional girls will marry before their 18th birthday by 2030.&lt;br /&gt;

Increasing rates of girls&amp;rsquo; education, proactive government investments in adolescent girls, and strong public messaging around the illegality of child marriage and the harm it causes attributed to the shift.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From one in four to approximately one in five, child marriages have seen a decline world over in the past 10 years, a Unicef report released on Monday said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The proportion of women who were married as children decreased by 15% in the last decade, with south Asia witnessing the largest decline (more than a third, from nearly 50% to 30%) owing largely to progress in India.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Increasing rates of girls&amp;rsquo; education, proactive government investments in adolescent girls, and strong public messaging around the illegality of child marriage and the harm it causes are among the reasons attributed to the shift.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;When a girl is forced to marry as a child, she faces immediate and lifelong consequences. Her odds of finishing school decrease while her odds of being abused by her husband and suffering complications during pregnancy increase,&amp;rdquo; said Anju Malhotra, Unicef&amp;rsquo;s principal gender advisor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;There are also huge societal consequences, and higher risk of intergenerational cycles of poverty,&amp;rdquo; she said, adding that &amp;ldquo;any reduction is welcome news, but we&amp;rsquo;ve got a long way to go&amp;rdquo;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The total number of girls married in childhood is now estimated at 12 million a year, shows the data.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The new figures point to an accumulated global reduction of 25 million fewer marriages than would have been anticipated under global levels 10 years ago.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, to end the practice by 2030 &amp;mdash; the target set out in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) &amp;mdash; progress must be significantly accelerated. Without further acceleration, more than 150 million additional girls will marry before their 18th birthday by 2030.&lt;br /&gt;

Increasing rates of girls&amp;rsquo; education, proactive government investments in adolescent girls, and strong public messaging around the illegality of child marriage and the harm it causes attributed to the shift.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From one in four to approximately one in five, child marriages have seen a decline world over in the past 10 years, a Unicef report released on Monday said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The proportion of women who were married as children decreased by 15% in the last decade, with south Asia witnessing the largest decline (more than a third, from nearly 50% to 30%) owing largely to progress in India.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Increasing rates of girls&amp;rsquo; education, proactive government investments in adolescent girls, and strong public messaging around the illegality of child marriage and the harm it causes are among the reasons attributed to the shift.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;When a girl is forced to marry as a child, she faces immediate and lifelong consequences. Her odds of finishing school decrease while her odds of being abused by her husband and suffering complications during pregnancy increase,&amp;rdquo; said Anju Malhotra, Unicef&amp;rsquo;s principal gender advisor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;There are also huge societal consequences, and higher risk of intergenerational cycles of poverty,&amp;rdquo; she said, adding that &amp;ldquo;any reduction is welcome news, but we&amp;rsquo;ve got a long way to go&amp;rdquo;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The total number of girls married in childhood is now estimated at 12 million a year, shows the data.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The new figures point to an accumulated global reduction of 25 million fewer marriages than would have been anticipated under global levels 10 years ago.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, to end the practice by 2030 &amp;mdash; the target set out in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) &amp;mdash; progress must be significantly accelerated. Without further acceleration, more than 150 million additional girls will marry before their 18th birthday by 2030.&lt;br /&gt;

Increasing rates of girls&rsquo; education, proactive government investments in adolescent girls, and strong public messaging around the illegality of child marriage and the harm it causes attributed to the shift.</em><br />
<br />
From one in four to approximately one in five, child marriages have seen a decline world over in the past 10 years, a Unicef report released on Monday said.<br />
<br />
The proportion of women who were married as children decreased by 15% in the last decade, with south Asia witnessing the largest decline (more than a third, from nearly 50% to 30%) owing largely to progress in India.<br />
<br />
Increasing rates of girls&rsquo; education, proactive government investments in adolescent girls, and strong public messaging around the illegality of child marriage and the harm it causes are among the reasons attributed to the shift.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;When a girl is forced to marry as a child, she faces immediate and lifelong consequences. Her odds of finishing school decrease while her odds of being abused by her husband and suffering complications during pregnancy increase,&rdquo; said Anju Malhotra, Unicef&rsquo;s principal gender advisor.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;There are also huge societal consequences, and higher risk of intergenerational cycles of poverty,&rdquo; she said, adding that &ldquo;any reduction is welcome news, but we&rsquo;ve got a long way to go&rdquo;.<br />
<br />
The total number of girls married in childhood is now estimated at 12 million a year, shows the data.<br />
<br />
The new figures point to an accumulated global reduction of 25 million fewer marriages than would have been anticipated under global levels 10 years ago.<br />
<br />
However, to end the practice by 2030 &mdash; the target set out in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) &mdash; progress must be significantly accelerated. Without further acceleration, more than 150 million additional girls will marry before their 18th birthday by 2030.<br />

25 million child marriages prevented in last decade: Unicef report

-Hindustan Times Increasing rates of girls’ education, proactive government investments in adolescent girls, and strong public messaging around the illegality of child marriage and the harm it causes attributed to the shift. From one in four to approximately one in five, child marriages have seen a decline world over in the past 10 years, a Unicef report released on Monday said. The proportion of women who were married as children decreased by 15% in the last decade, with south Asia witnessing the largest decline (more than a third, from nearly 50% to 30%) owing largely to progress in India. Increasing rates of girls’ education, proactive government investments in adolescent girls, and strong public messaging around the illegality of child marriage and the harm it causes are among the reasons attributed to the shift. “When a girl is forced to marry as a child, she faces immediate and lifelong consequences. Her odds of finishing school decrease while her odds of being abused by her husband and suffering complications during pregnancy increase,” said Anju Malhotra, Unicef’s principal gender advisor. “There are also huge societal consequences, and higher risk of intergenerational cycles of poverty,” she said, adding that “any reduction is welcome news, but we’ve got a long way to go”. The total number of girls married in childhood is now estimated at 12 million a year, shows the data. The new figures point to an accumulated global reduction of 25 million fewer marriages than would have been anticipated under global levels 10 years ago. However, to end the practice by 2030 — the target set out in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) — progress must be significantly accelerated. Without further acceleration, more than 150 million additional girls will marry before their 18th birthday by 2030. Please click here to read more.
