It’s a huge victory for the 65,000 girls who live in D.C.: Mayor Muriel Bowser has signed the bill championed by Councilmember Brooke Pinto to end child marriage!
We are not putting on the party hats yet. Congress still has 30 days to veto the bill.
If Congress does not announce a war on girls in the next month (fingers crossed), the District of Columbia will then join the 13 U.S. states and two U.S. territories where we have helped to eliminate a human rights abuse that destroys girls’ lives. We will keep you updated.
