Please ratify and addresses forced marriages

To: Rep. Tenney, Sen. Gillibrand, Sen. Schumer

From: A constituent in Hemlock, NY

October 13

(Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women) and the ICESCR (International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights) help end child marriage by creating binding legal obligations that require governments to outlaw the practice, establish a minimum age of marriage, and protect children's fundamental developmental rights. Together, they address both the legal loopholes and the socio-economic drivers—such as poverty and lack of education—that fuel child, early, and forced marriage.
