In 2011 a new organization was created, Unchained at Last, by Fraidy Reiss; The organization pushed to stop child marriages. Fraidy was forced into a marriage with an abusive man at age 19. After taking the issue to lawmakers no change had been made so she took it upon herself to create an organization to help young women and children who have been forced into a marriage.
A report last week reveals thousands of approved requests to bring child wives and fiance's into the U.S over the past decade. Hopefully, the numbers will decrease drastically as Unchained at last and more organizations like it become more worldwide.
