Unchained At Last for End Child Marriage

Why are we talking about #virginityexams so much? Bc our founder/ED, Fraidy Reiss had to undergo one before her own #forcedmarriage. “I remember feeling terrified. My physical safety would have been threatened” if the OBGYN hadn’t said she was a virgin.

There's almost no discussion of #virginitytesting in the U.S., so thank you to Marie Claire and the Fuller Project for International Reporting for pulling the curtain back on this abusive practice happening right here in the U.S.

Do you support child marriage?
