5.6 Part V Measures And Interventions To Mitigate The Effects Of Child Marriage Mitigatory measures for the child already in marriage, especially the girl wife/bride are embedded in the Model Law as there are girls who have born or will continue to bear children while still children themselves. To guard against the increased health risks and death of these children, the Model Law obliges Member States to provide in national legislation for intervention programmes to support child brides/wives and their families by promoting earlier and more frequent use of family planning, HIV/AIDS and maternal health services. It is a truism that married girls do need educational and economic opportunities to help break the cycle of inequality, illiteracy, illness and poverty that frequently perpetuates child marriage. This Part is specifically targeted to children already in marriage and provides for measures and interventions to mitigate the effects of such marriages. The Part also goes into a little detail on measures to deal with a child who is in need of care and protection. The Model Law obliges Member States to provide in national legislation for effective interventions and programmes to support child brides/wives and their families by:  promoting earlier and more frequent use of family planning, HIV/AIDS and maternal health services, and educational and economic opportunities to help break the cycle of inequality, illiteracy, illness and poverty that frequently perpetuate child marriage;  providing comprehensive sexuality education;  providing for collection of data on the number and status of children already in marriage, including the child’s education, access to resources, health care, education, information and entertainment and the socio-economic status of the family;  providing for access to health related and other data and information relating to the child, while protecting personal data to ensure the privacy of the child.  providing for reporting, monitoring and evaluation of implementation of the law; and  providing and allowing awareness programmes on consequences of child marriage and forbidding the use of inappropriate language Page 14 of 78
