Child marriage is a nightmarish reality for thousands of American girls, with nearly 300,000 children legally married between 2000 and 2018, some as young as 10. In California, 8,000 underage children are entered into marriage every year, yet our state still lacks a minimum age requirement.

But change is possible. Proposed legislation could ban child marriage in California, protecting countless girls from abuse and exploitation.

Let's act now. Join us in urging state legislators to support this crucial legislation.

Together, we can end child marriage and ensure every child's right to a safe and happy childhood. Email now.
