🌟 Proud to share the impactful work of the Gender Leadership Programme (GLP) designed to enhance the capacities of select Girls Not Brides member organisations in India 🇮🇳. GLP trained 27 participants from nine states to become Gender Justice Champions, leading efforts to integrate a Gender Transformative Approach into their work in a way that addresses the root causes, and to develop more impactful programmes to end child marriage and support ever-married girls. The GLP concluded with participants developing an idea for a collective project to put learnings from the programme into practice. 🛠️A workshop was held in Delhi on July 30th & 31st, where participants, supported by Partnering4Change Consultants, developed a tool to capture young people's perspectives on addressing child marriage. The insights gained will help organisations assess and identify areas for strengthening their organisational policies and programmes with a strong Gender Transformative Approach.

🗨 "Girls’ decisions to marry are not made in a vacuum; they are influenced by a myriad of factors including family expectations, peer influences, societal pressures, economic factors and representations of marriageability, all of which often being reflected and amplified by media portrayals." Read the blog co-written by Salamatou Abdoul Karim Yamba and Aïcha Awa BA, where they delve into Salamatou's research on how peer influence and material gains can shape girls’ decisions regarding marriage. This research highlights the broader theme of societal and cultural pressures, often reinforced by media, impacting young girls' perceptions and choices about marriage. 📖Full blog post here: https://lnkd.in/dba7C6_Q #Education #Media #YouthAdvocacy #SocialMediaInfluence #Research #CaseStudy

What Nollywood has to do with child marriage? (Version française ci-dessous) It is my pleasure to announce the publication of this new blog series around the youth-led research initiated by Girls Not Brides: The Global Partnership to End Child Marriage. Salamatou Abdoul-Karim Yamba and I co-wrote the first piece, which explores perspectives from Salamatou's research on how social and mass media influence girls' perceptions of marriage and education. As we delve deeper into the factors driving child marriage, it becomes clear there is a need to develop a stronger collective understanding of the complex interplay between social norms, cultural norms and girls’ agency. While it can be uncomfortable to acknowledge that girls can be involved in the decision-making processes surrounding child marriage, recognising this reality is essential for a nuanced and effective approach to addressing and ending the practice. Girls’ decisions to marry are not made in a vacuum; they are influenced by a myriad of factors including family expectations, peer influences, societal pressures, economic factors and representations of marriageability, all of which often being reflected and amplified by media portrayals. This exploration not only highlights the media’s power in reinforcing traditional norms but also underscores the potential for change through more diverse and empowering narratives. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Quel rapport entre Nollywood et le mariage des enfants ? C’est avec plaisir que j'annonce la publication de cette nouvelle série de blogs autour de la recherche menée par les jeunes. Ce premier article, co-écrit par Salamatou Abdoul Karim Yamba et moi-même, explore les perspectives de la recherche de Salamatou sur le rôle des médias sociaux et de masse dans la formation des perceptions des filles concernant le mariage et l'éducation. À mesure que nous approfondissons notre compréhension des facteurs favorisant le mariage des enfants, il devient évident qu'il est nécessaire de développer une compréhension collective plus forte de l'interaction complexe entre les normes sociales, les normes culturelles et l'agentivité des filles. Bien qu'il puisse être contraire au discours dominant d'envisager que les filles de puissent être impliquées dans les processus de décision entourant le mariage des enfants, la reconnaissance de cette réalité est essentielle pour une approche nuancée et efficace visant à aborder et à mettre fin à cette pratique. Cette recherche s'inscrit dans une exploration plus large sur comment les pressions sociétales et culturelles, souvent renforcées par les représentations médiatiques, impactent les perceptions et les choix des jeunes filles en matière de mariage. #ChildMarriage #YouthResearch #GirlsEducation #Nollywood #MediaInfluence #SocialChange #Empowerment #WestAfrica #GirlsNotBrides
