Early and child marriage was the focus of a project implemented in Pakistan by the Sindh Community Foundation. The overall goal was to ensure that girls in 30 villages in three districts of Sindh province were better protected from being forced into early marriage. In the final evaluation, it was found that the project had increased knowledge and shifted attitudes towards the protection of girls from early marriage. The project reached 3,915 primary and secondary beneficiaries, including 10 girls who, having been protected from early marriage, had gone back to school – three of them as a result of timely action taken by police officials trained through the project. In 2018, the UN Trust Fund supported the work of 19 grantees that helped almost 4,600 women and girls to gain access to specialized support services.
