We marked the Day of the Girl on Friday. Young women in Mathare led our session on ending child marriage. They spoke first.

The fight to #EndChildMarriage will require sustained commitment in the form of resources and political will — not just good intentions. For #DayOfTheGirl, a look at how we can get there:

On this International Day of the Girl, we join in solidarity with activists and feminists everywhere to call for an end to child marriage. We need to accelerate action towards ending it everywhere.

The United Nations observes the International Day of the Girl Child on October 11, focusing on the theme “End child marriage and invest in girls' rights!” to protect girls' freedom and expand their opportunities.

Left to men, the age of consent in more than half the states coincided with onset of puberty and was as low as 7. Men still treat girls like women as much as they can get away with. We don’t need their protection, we need them to stop holding us back.

Child marriage should be prohibited everywhere, and there should be no need to even have a discussion on this.

Every year, more than 12 million girls are married before they turn 18, roughly one every three seconds.

An estimated 68 million child marriages averted in 25 years.

The law should say 18. Everywhere.

Child marriage is a threat to girls everywhere, including in the U.S. This week, lawmakers in California took a bold step to ban this harmful practice.

Even as we celebrate this milestone, @npr.org highlights why the fight to #EndChildMarriage around the world is far from over:

It’s about fucking time. Proud of my state! #ProtectGirls #EndChildMarriage

The fact that California *just* banned child marriage is wild af, but at least we did it- after damn NINE YEARS trying.

If that and the fact that it's still legal in THIRTY TWO FUCKING STATES doesn't tell you how many pedos are in office, I don't know what will.
