Unchained helped Jamie, Syeda, Esther and others to break their chains.

You can help other women break their chains, too.

Unchained is the only nonprofit in the U.S. dedicated to helping women and girls leave or avoid arranged/forced marriage. Your generous donation to Unchained will directly and significantly impact a woman or girl who might otherwise remain chained in a marriage she did not choose.

Unchained, founded in 2011 as an all-volunteer organization, has helped some 100 women and girls from across the U.S. Donors like you have made that possible.

Thousands of others need help unchaining themselves — and Unchained needs your help to provide the services they need.

Join the Break a Chain Campaign

Unchained is expanding its team of pro bono attorneys and therapists, increasing its outreach and advocacy efforts and hiring staffers, so the organization can unchain more women.

And you can help. Every donation to Unchained, no matter the amount, makes a real difference to a woman or a girl like Jamie who is trying to leave or resist an arranged/forced marriage. Here’s an idea of how your support can Break a Chain:

~ $50 buys a week’s worth of groceries for a girl who has fled a forced marriage

~ $100 means a winter coat for a woman who escaped a forced marriage without any of her personal belongings

~ $250 covers court fees so a woman can file for divorce and end an unwanted marriage

~ $500 pays for a mover to help a woman move away from an abusive arranged marriage and into her own home

~ $1,000 gives medical care to a forced-marriage survivor who is not eligible for Medicaid

~ $5,000 provides a custody evaluation to save a woman from losing custody of her children as she flees a forced marriage

 

Unchained At Last is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and all donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
