Endline Report: Prevention of Child Marriages – IRP x UNICEF
Islamic Relief Pakistan, with support from UNICEF, implemented a faith-sensitive, community-led project to prevent child marriage across four districts in Pakistan. An independent endline evaluation confirms significant positive change, stronger child protection systems, increased rejection of child marriage, and greater confidence and agency among girls and women.
By engaging religious leaders, families, and institutions, the project helped shift harmful norms, open community dialogue, and link at-risk girls to education and protection services. The findings show that faith-based, community-anchored approaches can effectively protect girls and drive lasting social change.
