We set out to raise $50,000 in the last 50 days of 2021 to help end child marriage in all 50 states.
You helped us to achieve our goal. Three. Times. Over. Thanks to you, we raised nearly $160,000 to continue our work in 2022 leading the growing national movement to end child marriage in every U.S. state. And thanks to a dollar-for-dollar match from a generous donor, you actually helped us raise some $320,000!
Clearly you believe not only in our mission but also in our ability to achieve that mission. We promise not to let you down: Thanks to your generosity, we will continue to kick butt in 2022 — raising awareness, building coalitions and convincing legislators to end child marriage.
Child marriage creates a hellish legal trap. Minors can be entered into marriage in most U.S. states — often without any input from them — even though they typically cannot file for divorce or even enter a domestic violence shelter, as Chelsea Clinton and our Fraidy Reiss discussed recently (see brief video below).
There’s still time to help us eliminate this nightmarish trap in all 50 U.S. states, by helping us raise 50k* $100k by the end of the year. Every dollar you donate now will double in value, thanks to a match from a generous donor.
*Goal already met! Thank you.
“These children don’t have voices yet,” Delaware Rep. Kim Williams told our Fraidy Reiss about the hundreds of thousands of minors who were legally entered into marriage recently in the U.S., typically before they were old enough to file for divorce. “They want us to be their voices.” (See the brief video, below.)
Rep. Williams has been a crucial voice: She partnered with us in 2018 to make Delaware the first U.S. state to end child marriage. Since then, we have helped five states to follow. Only 44 states to go.
We have surpassed our goal of raising $50k in the last 50 days of 2021 to help end child marriage in all 50 states, and we have surpassed the new goal we set last week of raising $75k (!). Now, with a week left to the year, here’s our new challenge to you: Let’s get to $100k by the end of the year to help eliminate this human rights abuse in the U.S. Every dollar you donate before December 31 will double in value, thanks to a match from a generous donor.
With two weeks left to go, thanks to you, we’ve already passed our goal of raising $50,000 in the last 50 days of the year to help end child marriage in all 50 states!
So we’re officially upping our goal to $75,000 by the end of the year. Can you help us meet our new goal, so we can continue leading the growing national movement to eliminate child marriage in every U.S. state and at the federal level? Every dollar you donate from now until December 31 will double in value, thanks to a match from a generous donor.
“I hope that as people are looking to invest into addressing child marriage within the U.S., they do think of Unchained At Last as a major player and partner,” UNICEF’s Nankali Maksud told our Fraidy Reiss.
“Without the work Unchained At Last has done, in terms of evidence collection and in terms of being the voice for child marriage in the United States, many of us just wouldn’t know,” Nankali explained. (Watch Nankali and Fraidy’s conversations in these short clips).
We can’t end child marriage globally if we don’t eliminate it in the United States. And that means the national effort we lead to end this human rights abuse in the U.S. has global implications, as allies including Human Rights Watch’s Heather Barr and Girls Not Brides’ Faith Mwangi-Powell recently told our Fraidy Reiss.
Let’s raise $50k in the last 50 days of 2021 to end child marriage in all 50 U.S. states — and move the entire world closer to eliminating this sexist, archaic, harmful practice. Every dollar you donate now will double in value, thanks to a match from a generous donor.
Watch our brief conversations with Heather and Faith below, and watch all of our past conversations here.
“The work of Unchained At Last is infectious,” Mabel van Oranje of Girls Not Brides and VOW recently told our Fraidy Reiss (see brief video below). “It is hard not to engage when you and your colleagues are involved.”
With partners like Mabel — and YOU! — we can end child marriage in the U.S. So far we have raised more than $32k in our campaign to raise $50k in the last 50 days of the year to help eliminate this human rights abuse in all 50 U.S. states. Please help us get all the way to $50k!
Every donation you make now will double in value, thanks to a dollar-for-dollar match from a generous donor.
A major victory in our push to educate the world about child marriage in the U.S.: Our groundbreaking research was just published in the Journal of Adolescent Health, in a supplement alongside other research about child marriage globally.
Our study, the first of its kind, found that nearly 300,000 children were legally married in the U.S. between 2000 and 2018, mostly girls wed to adult men, typically before the girls were old enough to file for divorce. At least 60,000 children were married at an age or with a spousal age difference that should have been considered a sex crime.
You can do something about this! Let’s raise $50k in the last 50 days of 2021 so we can continue leading the national movement to end child marriage in all 50 U.S. states.
Check out the brief video clip below, in which global health expert Dr. Yvette Efevbera — who made our research possible — explains why she is passionate about ending child marriage.
