This self-paced module will help you improve how to support married girls and unmarried girls at risk of child marriage through child protection and gender-based violence case management services. 

This module does not present a new or different approach to delivering case management. It does, however, present focused information and considerations to help you provide the best possible support to girls who have experienced marriage or are about to be married.

This module is part a larger Learning Series to Tackle Child Marriage in Crisis and Forced Displacement Settings developed jointly by UNHCR and Plan International on behalf of the Alliance. 

This Learning Series responds to key challenges and gaps in knowledge and capacity as identified by country teams. The content has developed based on piloting throughout 2021-2023. 

There are currently three modules in the Learning Series available in English and French:

  1. The adolescent girl-responsive approach to child marriage programming

  2. Supporting married girls and unmarried girls at risk of child marriage in case management

  3. Co-designing child marriage prevention strategies with girls and their community

Modules can be taken in any order, but it is recommended to start with the Module 1 on the adolescent girl-responsive approach to child marriage programming in order to ensure a strong foundational knowledge of the topic and the guiding theory behind the other technical modules.

These modules have been developed for self-guided learning or as part of a group study guided by a technical facilitator. If you are interested to set up a study group, please contact us.

A person with a thinking bubble Is this course for me?
 

This learning module is primarily aimed at social workers, case managers, supervisors and coordinators delivering case management services in either the child protection or gender-based violence sector.

We recommend taking this module only if you are competent in child protection and/or gender-based violence case management and are working within the case management system. 

This course is intended as an add-on to standard case management trainings. As such, if you are new to the provision of case management, we suggest that first, you follow foundational courses on either child protection or gender-based violence as directed by your organization. This will then maximize your learning in this module.

If you want to refresh your case management knowledge and skills before taking this course, see these e-courses below:
