(Passing the Child Marriage Act is a huge step in making sure girls around the world have the right to be educated, healthy and counted.)
Breaking news: We are one step closer to ending child marriage!
The U.S. Senate just passed legislation to prevent child marriage — you made it happen! Thank you so much for signing our petition and saying I DO take a stand against child marriage.
Passing the International Protecting Girls by Preventing Child Marriage Act is a huge step in making sure girls around the world have the right to be educated, healthy and counted.
Special thanks go to Senators Richard Durbin and Olympia Snowe who have been champions of the bill from the start.
With your help, we sent thousands of letters to senators, and together, we made our voices heard. Now is our chance to thank them for taking a stand against child marriage. Join us in letting our senators know how much we appreciate them standing up for girls everywhere!
Thank you!
