Data reported for 2022 results against this indicator was obtained as part of a learning process on social norms and therefore may not accurately reflect the results obtained. Internal reviews of data collected on social norms across relevant indicators, coupled with external reviews, are informing the design of UN Women’s principled approach to social & gender norms change. This will be reflected in changes to the indicators to be introduced in the Mid-Term Review of the Strategic Plan. In addition to results reported by UN Women field offices (shown here), results achieved in countries and territories through the United Nations Trust Fund to End Violence against Women (UNTF) are included in a non-duplicative manner in the global reporting on this indicator (see the Our Global Results page).

Result: There increased efforts to prioritise the engagement of critical stakeholders in VAW prevention and response. The government has included the Law of Marriage Act 1971 as the law to be reviewed to reduce teenage pregnancy. Teenage pregnancy is the root cause of girls leaving school and getting married, exacerbating sexual violence and coercion. Evidence: The government conducted quarterly consultative sessions to discuss the opportunities for reviewing the laws with stakeholders to justify strengthening gender-sensitive laws, policies and plans. UN Women's contribution: UN Women provided technical inputs into the consultative meetings and shared best practices of the current laws from other countries.Disclaimer and notes
