GBV and child protection among Syrian refugees in Jordan with a focus on early marriage
Abstract
This study summarizes the findings of an assessment of GBV and child protection issues, with special emphasis on early marriage, among Syrian refugees. It was undertaken on behalf of the Child Protection and GBV sub-working groups in Jordan, established in February 2012 to coordinate prevention and response to child protection issues and GBV against children and adults affected by the crisis in Syria and who are living in camps, sites, and host communities. Co-chaired by UNICEF, UNFPA, and UNHCR, they are a sub-working group of the Community-based Protection Working Group chaired by UNHCR. Members of the sub-working groups include UN agencies as well as international and national NGOs working in these sectors.
