Early Marriage in Gaza causes and impact
Abstract
This study, “Early Marriage: Causes and Impact,” makes the case that the marriage of girls before the age of 18 is a violation of “children’s rights”, and, more broadly, of International Human Rights. Early marriage is very common in Palestinian society. The increase in early marriage depends on various cultural, social and economic factors. It is a crime against children. By not doing anything to stop it, society is taking part this crime. From this standpoint, The Women’s Affairs Center (WAC) has conducted this analytical study to further investigate the issue of early marriage in the Gaza Strip. As a preliminary step, They are focusing on the causes and impact of early marriage so that they can define its scope, and reflect on the necessary actions for intervention at the organizational and social levels.
