##### Background

UN Women, grounded in the vision of equality enshrined in the Charter of the
United Nations, works for the elimination of discrimination against women and
girls; the empowerment of women; and the achievement of equality between women
and men as partners and beneficiaries of development, human rights,
humanitarian action and peace and security.

UN Women Eastern & Southern Africa Regional Office (ESARO) maintains a large
presence in the Eastern and Southern Africa region, covering 13 countries with
program presence in Somalia and Zambia. In accordance with the UN Women
Strategic Note, which is premised on the Africa Strategy, UN Women works to
advance social, economic and political rights and the protection of women and
girls from violence including harmful practices. The program also focuses on
from the marginalized, excluded and under-represented groups, including rural
women, women with disabilities, women living with or affected by HIV, women
survivors of violence, women migrants, elderly women and others.

Violence against women and girls is a global pandemic and a human rights
violation. More than 1 in 3 women (36.6%) in Africa report having experienced
physical, and/or sexual partner violence or sexual violence by a non-partner.
Across Africa, 125 million girls and women alive today were married before
their 18th birthday. An estimated 200 million girls and women alive today are
believed to have been subjected to female genital mutilation (FGM). Using the
evidence generated from the study, “ [ Prospects for Ending Child Marriage in
Africa Implications on Legislation, Policy, Culture & Interventions
](https//africa.unwomen.org/en/digital-
library/publications/2018/multicountry-fgm) ” , UN Women mobilized
approximately 400 traditional and religious leaders to agree on areas where
these leaders can be agents of transformation in addressing these harmful
practices, through a series of sub-regional consultations that took place in
Kenya, Malawi, Nigeria and Egypt. Thereafter, on February 11 2019, with the
support of UN Women and in partnership with the African Union, the Council of
Traditional Leaders of Africa (COTLA) was launched under the leadership of the
President of Zambia H.E. Edgar Lungu who is the AU Champion against Child
Marriage. COTLA’s mission is to stop cultural and traditional norms and
practices that discriminate against women and girls, especially child
marriages and FGM.

The prevention and reduction of child marriage requires strong national
commitments, legal instruments, institutional, enforcement mechanisms joined
by awareness at the community level. The national commitment to eliminate
child marriages can be realized when all members of the society take
leadership and accept responsibility to work together to create a society that
does not condone violence against children and works collectively and directly
to prevent child marriages through effective oversight, reporting and
accountability. In this context, the government officials, traditional,
cultural, faith based, and community leaders play an important role in
supporting the implementation of legislation and in ending child marriage.
Therefore, it is envisaged that to enhance the understanding of relevant
actors on the legislation and jointly with the participants there is need to
devise strategies for effective prevention of child marriage and the promotion
of the second chance education for child marriage survivors.

The IBSA Project entitled “Reducing Child Marriage in Malawi and Zambia” is
funded by the India, Brazil and South Africa Facility for Poverty and Hunger
Alleviation through the UN South-South Cooperation (UNSSC). The project in
Zambia, is implemented in close partnership with the relevant government
departments, CSOs and UN Agencies through the UN Women ESARO coordination and
supervision. The program establishes linkages with the Global Program to
accelerate action to end child marriage in Zambia which collaborates with
other similar initiatives in Zambia and the region. The IBSA program in Zambia
also has linkages with the Child Marriage program in Malawi while working
closely with the related departments of the African Union through the UN Women
Ethiopia African Union Liaison team.
