10 states could outlaw child marriage this year

From Krysta Bisnauth, Freedom United 

I had my first child at 15 and three by the time I was 22. The trauma of that child marriage has followed me my entire life." —Survivor

I'm very grateful for where I am because it could have turned out so much worse and also...to advocate for those who don't have the strength. Cause I look back at that point and it's like what if I just gave up? What if I just went inward and accepted my fate?” Survivor, Mandy Havlik 

Your support is vital. By taking action today, you help ensure that no child is forced into a marriage against their will.  

Stand with us to end child marriage now.​ 

In solidarity,

Krysta and the team supporting the Freedom United community.
