Policy Research and Advocacy
Oxfam shared insights from Oxford University's Young Lives study, which played a significant role in Peru's decision to ban child marriage. The blog post on "From Poverty to Power" by Kath Ford explains the three key factors that contributed to this policy change: robust longitudinal data, effective translation of research into policy influence, and long-term relationship building. This success story demonstrates the power of sustained, evidence-based advocacy in achieving meaningful policy reforms.
