A twenty-year-old girl has been
killed in South Sudan for refusing to marry a man her family had selected for
her.
Joan Nyanyuki, Amnesty
International's Regional Director for East Africa, the Horn and Great Lakes
Region, said: "Forcing someone to marry against their will is a clear
violation of South Sudan's own constitution as well as its international human
rights obligations.
"The marriage and
killing are not only illegal, but also inhumane. We call on the government to
immediately hold the responsible individuals to account.
"The patriarchal
practice of forcing young girls and women to marry is a cruel manifestation of
the large inequality between men and women in South Sudan. Rather than being
resourceful and inspirational leaders and members of society, women and girls
are treated as communal commodities."
Many families in South
Sudan forcibly marry off their daughters for dowry, including girls under the
age of 18. In November 2018, a girl aged between 16 and 17 was forcibly married
after a controversial auction on Facebook. According to a 2017 UNICEF study,
52% of South Sudanese girls are married by the time they are 18.
Amnesty is calling on the
government of South Sudan to take urgent steps to end early, forced and child
marriage and to ensure that individuals perpetrating this heinous form of gender-based
violence and violating the country's laws are brought to book. Women and girls'
rights must be protected.
