Whatever happened to the U.S. campaign to ban child marriage?

The U.S. campaign to ban child marriage has been reignited with a controversial new bill before Congress and a U.N. day dedicated to ending the practice gaining attention. This move highlights the ongoing struggle to protect young girls from being married off at a tender age. Despite efforts, child marriage persists in parts of the U.S., raising concerns about the effectiveness of existing laws and the need for stronger measures to safeguard vulnerable children. The renewed focus underscores the global urgency to address this human rights violation.
