During the 2018 Universal Periodic Review (UPR) of Burkina Faso\u2019s human rights record at the UN Human Rights Council, we asked the Government of Burkina Faso for an update on their efforts to end early and forced marriage. We welcomed their adoption of the National Strategy to Prevent and Eradicate Child Marriage and the establishment of a multisectoral platform for its prevention and elimination. We encouraged them to review the Personal and Family Code to set the marriageable age at 18 years for both sexes.<\/p>
In addition, through our global programme 'Action Against Child Marriage', the UK is supporting UNICEF and the UN Population Fund in Burkina Faso to:<\/p>
strengthen frameworks, laws and policies;<\/p><\/li>
scale up access to basic services for girls who have experienced or are at risk of child marriage;<\/p><\/li>
provide direct investments for adolescent girls at risk of early marriage;<\/p><\/li>
shift harmful social norms<\/p>
<\/p><\/li><\/ul>

The UK Government regularly raises concerns about child, early and forced marriage with the Government of Sierra Leone.

We have raised the question of early and forced marriage in bilateral exchanges and official forums, including Senegal\u2019s November 2018 Universal Periodic Review at the UN Human Rights Council, in which one of our recommendations to the Senegalese Government, subsequently accepted, called for the implementation of existing laws on early and forced marriage, alongside child begging and child trafficking.

First, our nutrition manifesto commitment will improve by 2020 the nutrition of 50 million people who would otherwise go hungry. Second, with other Nutrition for Growth (N4G) signatories, we will prevent 20 million children becoming stunted. Lastly, in 2015, alongside other G7 countries, we will help address hunger and malnutrition among 500 million people by 2030 as part of the G7 Broad Food Security and Nutrition Development Approach agreed in Elmau.<\/p>"}
