THAT'S RIGHT!

To end child marriage by 2030, progress must be 17 times faster. If the risk of child marriage remains at today’s levels, there will be +170 million child brides between 2020 and 2030 (United Nations Children’s Fund, 2020). Over the next decade, up to 10 million more girls will be at risk of becoming child brides because of the pandemic COVID-19 (UNICEF, 2021b).

THAT'S RIGHT!

Global progress is driven largely by great strides in Bangladesh, India and Nepal. However, UNICEF notes that nearly 1 in 3 countries – accounting for around a third of the global population of children under the age of five – will need to urgently speed up progress in order to meet the target of providing legal identity for all, as set out in the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (Wylie, 2019).

The estimation of 1.2 million children who are trafficked every year is still the fact. The total currently for trafficked children is estimated to be more than 5.5 million. Most of these children are suffering abuse, violence, exploitation and are being forced into labour, prostitution, marriages, military service and begging (Child Liberation Foundation, 2020; Save the Children, 2022).

THAT'S RIGHT!

Children in conflict with the law – children alleged as, accused of, or recognised as having committed a criminal offence – are guaranteed protection and fundamental human rights through several international and regional instruments concerned with child justice. Yet children are often held in police custody, detention centres, prisons and other custodial settings in violation of international treaties, norms and standards. The actual number of children in conflict with the law, both globally and in many countries, is unknown due to incomplete record-keeping and undeveloped administrative data systems in many countries (UNICEF, 2021c).
