END CHILD MARRIAGE!

One in five girls worldwide around the world will exchange her school uniform for a wedding dress before the age of 18. They’ll be forced into child marriage. 

In some countries, that statistic shoots up to more than half of all girls. And the U.S. isn’t immune to this travesty. Between 2000 and 2018, almost 300,000 minors under age 18 were legally married. Nearly all were aged 16 or 17 – but a few were as young as 10.

No matter where it happens in the world, child marriage steals hope, education, and a future for girls. Child marriage must end.
