Rights group ADHOC is continuing to implement a project in Mondulkiri and Ratanakkiri provinces aimed at educating the public about the impact of young marriages after finding that youth marriage rates, especially among indigenous people, remain high.

 

The “Project to protect and prevent Child, Early and Forced Marriage (CEFM)” – funded by the US Agency for International Development (USAID) – runs from October 1, 2021 to December 10, 2023. The 27-month project aims to educate parents, youth, communities and indigenous people about the impact of young marriage, changes in attitudes toward forced marriage at a young age, and laws concerning marriage.

 

Meas Saim, ADHOC deputy director of women and children’s rights, told The Post that the project aims to encourage indigenous peoples, especially families with young married boys and girls, to understand why they should not marry too early and drop out of school. They can have physical and mental health problems as well as serious sexual problems.
