Child Marriage in Armed Conflict

The article aims to fill gaps in the literature on different forms of sexual and gender-based violence during conflict; including child marriage during climate change, girl child widows, child marriage by fighting forces and armed groups, and more. In addition to further investigating the context of child marriages, the authors suggest eight avenues for future investigation on child marriage in armed conflict. More thorough research is required to improve outcomes for married children in both conflict and humanitarian settings. The authors suggest a need for the coordinated development of multiple stakeholders and technologies, including data analytics tools, to better understand and capture the multifaceted components of child marriage globally.
