• W72699499 abstract "Hypothesis: The hypothesis of the study assumes: If Syrian refugee families understood the health risks involved with child marriage and the severity of these risks, they would be less likely to choose to marry off their daughter under the age of 18. If these families had more health educational programs and had more access to these programs, these programs would influence their decision towards avoiding child marriage for their daughter(s). Significance: According to UNICEF, one-third of registered marriages among Syrian refugees in Jordan between January and March 2014 involved girls under the age of 18. Child marriage puts girls at risk of health issues involved with premature pregnancy and domestic abuse, and it also cuts their education short. Since this research will look at how the awareness of child marriage’s health risks affect families’ decision about child marriage, it can help organizations and Jordan’s government understand the importance of health education on this issue. For instance, if this study shows that when Syrian refugee families understand more about the long-term risks of child marriage, particularly with health, they choose not to marry their daughter underage, organizations will become more inclined to implement health education programs to spread awareness. If the study shows otherwise, future studies can look into what type of education will discourage child marriage, or what other factors will discourage this trend so that organizations can invest into these factors. Methodology Description: This study’s target group includes Syrian refugee families attending health clinics in Irbid, (preferably families who have experienced early marriage or plan on early marriage), and the following organizations: UNICEF and UNFPA. This study interviewed 4 Syrian refugee families at the Al takaful clinic in Irbid, and interviewed 2 physicians at the clinic. In addition, the study interviewed 2 employees at UNICEF and 2 at UNFPA. This study also surveyed 15 employees at the Al Takaful Clinic, 15 employees at UNICEF and 15 employees at UNFPA. Conclusion: Due to the mixed responses and the lack of scope in the study, the following conclusion requires more support but gives organizations an idea about how to further approach the issue of early marriage among Syrian refugees. Syrian refugees’ perception of early marriage largely depends on their situation in Jordan, such as their ability to provide for their family, their feeling of safety, and their access to services like health and education. This study, as well as past studies, revealed how these factors largely determine if a Syrian refugee family chooses to marry their daughter early. Since these situations vary greatly between areas where refugees reside, whether that includes a refugee camp or urban setting, no one solution can prevent early marriage for a majority of refugees unless organizations find a way to feasibly provide safety and money to these refugees in their desperate state. Therefore, to prevent many of the negative consequences of early marriage, organizations who work with refugees should focus on how to prevent health issues like early pregnancy rather than how to prevent early marriage. If organizations cannot stop early marriage, they should put more effort into preventing the issues that come with it. Organizations like UNICEF should continue their campaigns to raise awareness about the effects of early marriage, but they could include more education about safe sex (to prevent HIV/AIDS), family planning (to prevent early pregnancy), and domestic violence. Many of the health issues that result from early marriage come from early pregnancy, so organizations could specifically focus on this issue through their education, and find more ways to expand their education so as many refugees have access to the education as possible. Organizations and healthcare clinics should also encourage the use of contraceptives through family planning services, if they do not already, and teach refugees about the benefits of contraceptives through their education sessions and through clinic visits. In addition, organizations and healthcare clinics should expand their women reproductive health facilities so that if girls become pregnant early, they have access to the care they need before complications arise. Contribution of study and Importance: Organizations like UNICEF, UNHCR, Save the Children, and International Medical Corps continue working to implement campaigns to raise aware about the effects of early marriage. However, since this study found that understanding the health risks of early marriage does not always outweigh other factors when refugees decide on their daughter’s marriage, organizations can take this study’s results, combined with their own experiences and opinions, to alter the focus of their campaigns. For instance, the Amani campaign includes 12 messages for children and 11 messages for adults about early marriage. Of these messages 3 message for the children and 2 messages for the adults that address health issues and how to get help for a safe pregnancy. Other messages address early marriage itself, such as its legality. The Amani Campaign should still include these other messages, but create more specific messages about how children and adults can protect themselves or young brides from health complications, and emphasize these messages more than the messages about preventing early marriage. This will help girls avoid these health complications in a feasible way, and hopefully give these girls and their families a safe, healthy start to their new lives." @default.
