Urgent action needed to meet SDG to end child marriage by 2030
Format
International Women’s Day
When Tseganesh from Ethiopia was 14 years old, she became friendly with a man who was known to the family. Life already held challenges but with school closures due to the COVID-19 pandemic, circumstances changed significantly for her. The man offered her money to buy whatever she needed and shortly afterwards, he proposed to her. She soon realized that if she agreed, her hopes of continuing with her secondary education and studying at university one day were in jeopardy. Tseganesh returned the man’s money but he was insistent on marrying her. Thankfully, with the intervention of her father and the church elders, she did not have to agree to his wishes. She is now awaiting her eighth grade final exam results.

The first year of the ‘Decade of Action,’ a call by world leaders to accelerate efforts to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030, coincided with the outbreak of the deadly COVID-19 pandemic. With more than 2.5 million people succumbing to the virus so far, and possibly a lasting devastating socioeconomic impact, it has become even more imperative that the 2030 Agenda is prioritised by nations worldwide. The SDGs, a broader and more transformative version of the Millennium Development Goal (MDGs), were adopted in 2015 to address the issues plaguing the three dimensions of development: Economic growth, social development and environment sustainability. The 17 global goals were devised in a holistic manner in order to be inclusive, empowering, and gender-sensitive. What differentiated the SDGs from their previous incarnation was the global commitment to achieving visible gender equality, integrated and ingrained into all the SDGs apart from the standalone Goal 5.
