Girls’ Sexuality and Child, Early, and Forced Marriages and Unions

A Conceptual Framework: As part of the CEFMU and Sexuality Working Group, Plan International in partnership with Girls’ Not Brides and collaborators developed a conceptual framework to support gender-transformative advocacy and programming to prevent child marriage and advance adolescent girls’ rights and agency by addressing the link between fear and control of sexuality and CEFMU.

Plan International’s goal is for children, adolescents and young people in all their diversity to have control of their lives and bodies, and make decisions about their sexuality, free from discrimination, coercion or violence. This includes whether, when and with whom to have sex, marry and have a child.

We prioritise investments in:

1. Tackling child marriage and FGM/C and supporting girls at risk.
2. Supporting positive sexuality education and dialogue
3. Strengthening quality adolescent and gender responsive SRHR services
4. Supporting adolescent SRHR before, during and after emergencies
5. Providing holistic HIV programmes for adolescents and youth
