So many states lack adequate child marriage legislation. These downfalls have led to nearly 300,000 children being wed since 2000. A HUGE thanks to @AsmCottie for working to make a difference in California to protect these kids. theahafoundation.org/bill-ask…

We are currently in a dozen states fighting for bans on child marriage. We're making significant progress but could go even further with your support. You have the ability to double your impact today in the fight to protect girls from child marriage. buff.ly/3be5Nh2 pic.twitter.com/LPsZsx6ryC

This week, Alabama's State Judiciary Committee UNANIMOUSLY voted to send an anti-FGM bill to the Senate floor. Now, Alabama is a senate vote and Governor's signature away from outlawing FGM in the state!‼️👏
