There are not many movements in the U.S. where we can point to one activist and say, “That person was both the spark and the fire,” Chelsea Clinton — our longtime ally — recently told our Fraidy Reiss (see the video below).
But when it comes to the national movement to end the harmful practices of forced and child marriage, the six million girls who live in the eight states where we have helped to end child marriage “truly owe that right and that freedom to you,” Chelsea told Fraidy.
Fraidy replied that no one person can end forced and child marriage in the U.S., not even one person wearing her signature, deep red lipstick.
“It takes a village,” Fraidy said.
Thank you for being an important member of that village, along with us and Chelsea Clinton. Please donate today to help us keep fighting forced and child marriage in the U.S.
