1	Human Rights Violations During the Covid-19 : A Case Study of Child Marriages in Niger Falodi, Faith January 2023 (has links) Millions of people's lives have been upended by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has also worsened existing inequalities and led to widespread abuses of human rights. This report examines the rise in teen marriage in Niger as a result of the global epidemic. The closure of schools, economic hardship, and social isolation have made females vulnerable to early marriage as families strive to reduce financial pressures or safeguard daughters from getting the virus. This report examines the causes of child marriage in Niger, the impacts of the pandemic on girls' rights, and the measures taken by government and civil society organisations to combat the issue. The document argues that child marriage violates girls' rights and perpetuates a cycle of poverty and poor health outcomes. The report concludes that urgent action is required to protect the rights of girls and end the harmful practise of child marriage, especially in light of the Covid-19 pandemic. This case study highlights the importance of addressing human rights violations during crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the necessity of sustained efforts to promote gender equality and protect the rights of women and girls.
