This morning (Wednesday, June 10).
The Ohio senate Judiciary committee finally holds a hearing on SB341, the bill to ban child marriage that has zero opposition from the public.
Our founder/ED Fraidy Reiss will be there to testify.

Our advocacy is working.

After sustained pressure from advocates and survivors across the country, Ohio's child marriage ban legislation has been scheduled for a Senate Judiciary Committee vote this Wednesday, a major step toward protecting minors from child marriage.

Last week, we joined @UnchainedAtLast, fellow advocates and survivors at the Ohio Capitol, where our Director of Policy demanded "Today we are asking Ohio lawmakers to do something simple. No loopholes. No exceptions. No excuses. Pass SB 341 and set the marriage age at 18, period." Lawmakers listened.

We'll keep fighting until every child is protected.

Bill to ban child marriage in Ohio has widespread support. So, why hasn't it passed yet?

Conflict and disaster make girls more vulnerable to child marriage.

We must work to provide greater protection to those at risk in humanitarian settings.

Quick quiz for the Ohio Senate Judiciary Committee.

A bill to ban child marriage — 18, no exceptions — has been sitting in your committee for multiple sessions.

Number of people who testified against it: 0
Number of organizations that oppose it: 0

[Ayaan Hirsi Ali Foundation @AHAFoundation]

Ohio has a bill to ban child marriage—18, no exceptions. Strong bipartisan support. ZERO opposition. Not one person. Not one organization.

And yet the Senate Judiciary Committee hasn’t brought it to a vote.

We're asking Ohio legislators: If no one opposes this bill, why won't you vote on it? @OhioSenateDems and @OhioSenateGOP.

Ohio's girls have waited long enough. Pass SB341.

#18NoExceptions

[Unchained At Last @UnchainedAtLast]

Not one person. Not one organization. Zero opposition.

And still — the Ohio Senate Judiciary Committee has refused to bring it to a vote. Multiple sessions. No opponents. No vote.

Ohio: We have a question.

Mr. President, Daylight Saving Time forces Americans to wake an hour earlier than Standard Time and does not create more daylight. Permanent Daylight Saving Time would make winter mornings dangerously dark, with some sunrises occurring as late as 9am. For the sake of public health, safety, and better sleep, please restore permanent Standard Time!

[Unchained At Last @UnchainedAtLast]

Ohio has a strong child marriage ban sitting in committee. Zero opposition. No vote. We want to know why. @OhioSenateDems @OhioSenateGOP — pass Ohio's child marriage ban. #EndChildMarriageOH

Imagine a woman fleeing an attacker—and her car won’t start because it thinks she’s impaired.

Imagine a farmer injured on the job—his truck won’t start because it thinks he’s drunk.

These are the unintended consequences of the Kill Switch mandate.

Kill the Kill Switch.

[Ayaan Hirsi Ali Foundation @AHAFoundation]

Oklahoma legislators are pushing to end child marriage—but one lawmaker opposes it, citing "parental rights."

Child marriage traps minors who are too young to divorce, access shelters, or sign leases. This is about protecting children from exploitation.

Thank you @HamiltonSD7 for your leadership on this. We encourage @kylehilbert and OK House members to support this critical legislation.

Child marriage is still legal in 34 U.S. States. @FraidyReiss and @UnchainedAtLast have been indefatigably working to change that painful reality.
I’m proud to join Fraidy in co-authoring this op-ed about the fight to pass legislation banning child marriage in Colorado, and the surprising opposition SB 48 faces.

I hope you’ll take a moment to read and share:

@CherokeeOwl Age of consent and legal adulthood is 18. Should be 18, no exceptions.

[Brigitte Combs @AbeilleCombs]

@mohhamedmuderer @Adasochy @_alice_evans One is too many. There is no reason why we should not fight it anywhere it is happening. Just want to remind folks it doesn’t just happen in these other countries. It should not happen anywhere.

[Brigitte Combs @AbeilleCombs]

@_alice_evans @naomirwolf We need to end child marriage in America too. It’s still legal and happening in 34 states. It was legal in all 50 states until just 2018 when Delaware became the first state to outlaw any marriage before age 18.

[Brigitte Combs @AbeilleCombs]

@imfrekebenson @_alice_evans Yup, still happens in America too. Legal in 34 states. Until 2018 it was legal in all 50. Spread the word so people know. It doesn’t just happen in those “other” countries.
