Together, we can end child marriage
Learn to do right! Seek justice, encourage the oppressed. Defend the cause of the fatherless, plead the case of the widow. — Isaiah 1:17
Each year, 12 million girls are married before the age of 18. That’s 22 girls every minute whose childhood, dreams, and education are cut short. All children are made in God’s image and are worthy of dignity, respect, and opportunities to thrive. It’s time to protect and empower girls everywhere.
ACT NOW:
Your leaders not only want to hear from you, they NEED to hear from you. As U.S. citizens, we have the beautiful privilege of entering places of power — reflecting both the light of Jesus and sharing a deep knowledge of how legislators can care for our global neighbors. A new Congress has been sworn in this month and we have the opportunity to help them consider their global impact as leaders of the United States.
We're starting the new year with a time to gather and prepare our hearts for another impactful year of advocacy.
As we prepare for our advocacy work in the coming year, let's remember what makes World Vision Advocates unique:
- Proverbs 14:31
- Isaiah 61:1, 3-4
- Romans 13:4
- Psalm 72:1-4,12-14
