In February 2021, the Journal of Adolescent Health partnered with GreeneWorks and four regional guest editors to launch a Call for Papers on “Singularity and Diversity in Child, Early and Forced Marriage.”

This brief summarizes overarching patterns across the 13 articles and 3 commentaries accepted for publication. The document invites activists, practitioners and researchers to reframe the child marriage issue and suggests
analysis and recommendations to reconsider and reimagine what it will take to end the harmful practice and ensure the rights of girls globally.

The papers are published in a Journal of Adolescent Health supplement titled: "Shared Roots, Different Branches: Expanding Understanding of Child Marriage in Diverse Settings", JAH, 70(3): S1-S96. It follows a 2021 supplement titled: "The diversity and complexity of child marriage", JAH, 69(6): S1-S80, which considered the diverse drivers of, and potential responses to, child marriage across the world, highlighting the critical importance of context.
