Tadwein has worked on this project from mid-2019 to mid-2020. Tadwein is implementing this project to raise awareness about the harmful impacts of early/child marriage on the lives of women in urban greater Cairo and rural areas in Fayoum.

To reach this goal, Tadwein has:

• Provided CBOs in the targeted areas with a greater understanding of the risks of early marriage and GBV practices in general. It also capacitated them with advocacy tools and community-based awareness on how to identify issues and lay down strategies to initiate and conduct activities that aim to influence target groups about harmful practices within their communities.
• Collected and documented a series of testimonies, based on interviews with 42 ever-married/ married women, illustrating the consequences of early marriage, focusing on social isolation, domestic violence, attitudes towards separation and divorce, the use of family planning, and gender inequalities.
• Provided a series of awareness workshops to 120 married couples and underage unmarried girls in Fayoum and Greater Cairo.
• Based on the results of these activities,
• Tadwein launched an online awareness campaign including new evidence-based messages, advocating against the practice of early/child marriage.
• Developed a study report on the consequences of early/child marriage.
• The outcomes of this project were publicized in a round table on December 10, 2020.
