The practice are compounded by many factors including: economic factors, social factors like lack of knowledge about what constitutes ‘a child’, ideas about the age at which girls or boys are considered ready for marriage, and the association of puberty with readiness for marriage for both girls and boys.

The survey sought to find out firstly whether people in these wards knew anything about early marriage in their areas. As shown in this report, girls are more affected by early marriage than boys, since girls are marginalized, their voices are never heard and they are, in most cases, considered as ‘investments’ by their parents and guardians who receive bride price when the girls are married.

The state's security actors show a surprising tolerance for crime and violence amongst civilians, so long as it is not directed at the state when state actors are threatened, however, they respond with indiscriminate violence. Whereas the Indonesian state in Papua is viewed as omnipotent, NVMS data indicates that much of the region is marked by the absence of the state in Tanah Papua, Indonesia more resembles a conflagration of Tilly's violent entrepreneurs and pre-modern capitalists than a Weberian bureaucracy. Nearly all separatist-related killings occurred in two remote districts the vast majority of Tanah Papua does not host such killings. Deaths related to separatism came second. In 2014-the last year for which NVMS data was available-the leading cause of homicide in Papua was crime. The authors undermine this assumption by analyzing data from Indonesia's National Violence Monitoring system or NVMS. Most of the region's violence is assumed to be caused by state actions directed at indigenous Papuans. Tanah Papua is the most violent and resource-rich region of Indonesia, and hosts the country's last active separatist insurgency.
