The Vermont House of Representatives just voted YES on legislation to end child marriage! The bill now heads to the senate, bringing Vermont one step closer to becoming the eighth U.S. state to end all marriage before 18, without exceptions.
If you live in Vermont, please email your state senator to urge them to pass H148, sponsored by Rep. Carol Ode, and eliminate this human rights abuse that destroys girls’ lives.
And wherever you live, make sure you are registered for our United Nations Commission on the Status of Women parallel event next week. Join us in person or via Zoom for the premiere of “Unseen Housewives,” the provocative trailer for a show that must not go on: child marriage in the U.S.
