Jenn was 16 when her parents forced her to marry her 44-year-old rapist and abuser. When she tried to leave, she lost everything — including custody of her children.
Jenn now partners with us, publicly sharing her painful story to convince legislators and others across the U.S. to ban child marriage.
“I couldn’t imagine doing anything else, no matter how hard,” Jenn said.
Child marriage remains legal in most of the U.S. and continues to happen at an alarming rate — mostly to girls who are married to adult men. With your support and partnerships with survivors like Jenn, we have helped to ban child marriage in 10 U.S. states so far. Only 40 states to go!
Please help us raise $100k in the last 50 days of 2023, so we can continue leading the national movement to end forced and child marriage in all 50 U.S. states.
A generous donor will match every dollar you give, up to $75,000.
