This International Day of the Girl, Take Action in Illinois! This year’s theme is “#EndChildMarriage and invest in girls’ rights.” Join the movement. 📣 Call your IL state legislators & demand they pass legislation to ban marriage under age 18 with NO exceptions.

Infographic for International Day of the Girl (Oct 11, 2026) titled "LET’S END CHILD MARRIAGE IN ILLINOIS," next to an illustration of a teenage bride in a veil seen from behind. Text explains that Illinois permits 16- and 17-year-olds to marry with parental or judicial consent, unlike 18 states with full bans. Three key stats are highlighted:
*7,540 Illinois children married (2000–2018).
*At least 83% were girls wed to adult men.
*At least 2,349 involved 16-year-olds, where marriage served as a "get out of jail free" card for statutory rape.


A bottom banner with a megaphone reads: "CALL YOUR ILLINOIS STATE LEGISLATORS and demand they pass legislation banning marriage under age 18 with NO exceptions."

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.

Childhood should be filled with learning, friendships, discovery, and dreams for the future. Child marriage can interrupt education and limit opportunities for girls. Protect her future. End child marriage. #DayOfTheGirl#InvestInGirls#GirlsRights#EndChildMarriage#EPAC#SWR#DST

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:

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.

Tell your members of Congress to support the Child Marriage Prevention Act. Take action through the link in our [act.tahirih.org/a/2026-cmpa-sponsorship](act.tahirih.org/a/2026-cmpa-...)

#CA has banned child marriage-9 YEARS-to end a human rights violation. 85% of child marriages are girls married to adult men. It costs nothing to #EndChildMarriage. All 32 remaining states must do it now. #classroomsnotbedrooms

@shevotesil.bsky.socialOct 1, 2026, 2:24 PM

🚨 BREAKING NEWS: California becomes the 18th state to ban child marriage!

Child marriage can trap minors in legal & abusive situations, depriving them of their rights & jeopardizing their well-being.

When Civil Society Organisations partner with teachers, learners gain significantly.
