ending child marriage
Our hard work has paid off in the U.S. Virgin Islands: The legislature voted UNANIMOUSLY yesterday to end child marriage! Bill #33-0109, championed by Sen. Javan James, now goes to the governor, who has promised to sign it into law next year.
So we have now helped to end child marriage in New Jersey, Delaware and — imminently — the U.S. Virgin Islands. American Samoa also ended child marriage last year.
