The UK welcomes the recent establishment of child courts across Pakistan, which will ensure that issues affecting children, including child marriage, are more effectively dealt with in Pakistan's legal system. Our Strengthening Rule of Law in Pakistan programme, which concluded in March 2021, has worked to ensure that all of Pakistan can benefit from a fair, equal and transparent justice system that will help ensure a better governed, more prosperous and stable Pakistan.
