Rehabilitation of Child Brides Vital December 24, 2020 Child marriages have always been a challenge in many Zimbabwean communities. Gender inequality, poverty, family pressure, gender-based violence (GBV) and early marriage have kept girls from completing school in Zimbabwe, and this has had lasting effects. The lockdown which was enforced to reduce the spread on Covid-19 at the end of March this year, was “pregnant” with its own challenges, worsening the already simmering situation for some vulnerable girls. For example, over 400 girls from four districts in Manicaland, East of Zimbabwe dropped out of school altogether owing to pregnancy, marriage, financial challenges and illness when schools reopened in October this year.
