Partners: Unchained At Last
JPus announces a new partnership with a national non-profit working to end child marriages.
Unchained at Last is dedicated to creating social, policy and legal change to end forced and child marriage in America. It helps women and girls leave or avoid arranged/forced marriages and rebuild their lives.
