The law must never be a tool of oppression. At the "Accelerating Equality in Law" event at #HLPF2025, I urged to bend the arc of justice faster & with greater force #ForAllWomenAndGirls. Reformed laws translate into lives changed, freedoms gained & futures unlocked. #Beijing30

It’s official: Missouri has banned #childmarriage. The Governor signed a law making marriage under 18 illegal, no exceptions. A huge win for survivors, advocates & children. 231 minors were legally married in the state from 2019–21. That ends now. @UnchainedAtLast
