    (2024-09) Abdisalam Abdullahi Esse
    This study sought to examine the effects of child marriages on the educational attainment of girls in secondary schools in Adado, Galgadud, Somalia. The following specific objectives were formulated to guide the study: (i) to establish the effects of cultural practices on educational attainment among secondary school girls in Adado, Galgadud, Somalia, (ii) to examine the effects of social practices on educational attainment among secondary school girls in Adado, Galgadud, Somalia, and (iii) to determine the effects of economic practices on educational attainment among secondary school girls in Adado, Galgadud, Somalia. This study used a descriptive survey design which combined both qualitative and quantitative research approaches. The target population for this study was 195 participants, and by using Slovin’s formula, 131 respondents were selected for the study. Data was collected using questionnaires and an interview guide. The study findings showed that child marriage practices accounted for 61.2% of educational attainment in Adado, Galgadud, as indicated by an adjusted R-squared of 0.612. This implies that child marriage practices significantly affect educational attainment in Adado, Galgadud, as indicated by the F-value of 0.513 and Sig = 0.001. The coefficients table indicated that of all the aspects of child marriage practices, social practices accounted for the biggest influence on educational attainment in Adado, Galgadud (β = 0.513, Sig = 0.001). The study findings show that cultural practices negatively affect the educational attainment of girls in Adado, Galgadud district, Somalia. The study indicated that an increase in cultural practices leads to a reduction in educational attainment for families. The results conclude that the occurrence of cultural practices has generally reduced the functionality of the district in terms of educational attainment for girls in secondary schools. Secondly, the study concludes that an increase in social practices leads to a reduction in the attainment of education for affected victims. Thirdly, the study concludes that economic practices negatively affect the socio-economic development of girls in Adado, Galgadud district, Somalia. The study indicated that an increase in economic practices leads to a reduction in educational attainment for girls in secondary schools. From the first objective, it was recommended that to achieve lasting change, it is important to enact legislation and develop policies that protect women, address discrimination against women, promote gender equality, and help to move towards more peaceful cultural norms. From the second objective, it was recommended to develop technical guidance for evidence-based intimate partner and social practices prevention, strengthen health sector responses to such violence, disseminate information, support national efforts to advance women's rights, and collaborate with international agencies to reduce/eliminate intimate partner and social practices globally.
