Not everyone agrees with us that girls deserve to live without the threat of child marriage, a human rights abuse that destroys girls’ lives.
Take New Hampshire Rep. Jess Edwards, who voted earlier this year against banning this harmful practice, because he said teenage girls are of a “ripe, fertile age.”
We need to push back. Let’s see how much we can raise in the last 50 days of 2024 to help end child marriage, and the nightmarish legal trap it creates for girls, in all 50 states. All 50for50 donations this week are in “honor” of Rep. Edwards.
For a limited time, a generous donor is matching every donation, dollar for dollar — so your donation will double in value.
