Decline in global rate of child marriage: The global proportion of women aged 20–24 years who were married before the age of 18 dropped from nearly one in four in 2010 to almost one in five (19 per cent) in 2022 However, to end child marriage by 2030 progress needs to accelerate 20 times the current rate. If no progress is made, 9 million girls will marry in childhood in the year 2030, with girls from the poorest and most marginalized communities disproportionately affected.

School-related gender-based violence: Globally, one in three students, aged 11–15, have been bullied by their peers at school at least once in the past month, with girls and boys equally likely to experience bullying. While boys are more likely to experience physical bullying than girls, girls are more likely to experience psychological bullying, and they report being made fun of because of how their face or body looks more frequently than boys.
