5/17/2017 Unchained granted special consultation status with UN

Unchained is excited to report that it has been granted special consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC). Unchained joins more than 4,500 NGOs around the world that are in active consultative status with ECOSOC.

Consultative status provides Unchained with access to not only ECOSOC, but also to its many subsidiary bodies, the various human-rights mechanisms of the United Nations and special events organized by the president of the General Assembly.

This access allows Unchained to influence and raise awareness of forced and child marriage among key international decision makers.
