#ICYMI , you can watch our #GCNOW #ChildMarriage panel here:

I have sat with women and held their hands while they have shared their child marriage journey with me. I've listened to their testimony. Please don't demean what they went through - be respectful. You have a right to your opinion, but the victims deserve respect too.

Thank you for your leadership and relentlessly pushing to #EndChildMarriage in #NH ! 🙌🎉👏

When I was 15 I started researching Child Marriage, it's been a long road with many ups and downs. Tomorrow I turn 25 and my ten-year fight to end Child Marriage just had another high, the NH House just voted to End Child Marriage!

Rep. Cassandra Levesque has been behind the movement to #EndChildMarriage in #NH since she was a high schooler doing a Girl Scout project, long before she was a legislator! This has been a victory long in the making, thanks to her perseverance. We're lucky to have champions like her!

The summit also featured powerful stories shared by Dr. Kakenya Ntaiya, Payzee Malika, ⁦⁦Fraidy Reiss⁩ ⁦Unchained At Last⁩ ,highlighting their efforts to end child marriage.
