African governments should not tolerate or legally permit child marriage, denial of education, or other human rights abuses against girls, Human Rights Watch said today on the African Union's Day of the African Child. The 2022 theme is "Eliminating Harmful Practices Affecting Children." African governments should adopt stronger measures to protect girls from practices that violate their rights. Harmful practices are often rooted in discriminatory traditional, economic, religious, and legal conditions, and harmful societal views on the role of girls and women.
