#Bolivia | Approval of the bill against Child, Early and Forced Marriage and Unions (CEFMU)

On September 25, Bolivia marked a turning point in the defense of girls’ rights. On that day, Law No. 1639 was enacted, prohibiting marriage and unions involving minors. This video captures one of the most significant moments of this process: the result of more than three years of coordinated work alongside Senator Virginia Velazco, Deputy Betty Yañíquez, the Human Rights Community, and other organizations, advocates, lawmakers, and collectives committed to protecting girls. We extend our gratitude to all the individuals and institutions that made this achievement possible. We invite you to revisit this collective journey of advocacy. No child brides. No forced unions. Girls are girls! #Law1639 #NoChildBrides #GirlsAreGirls #IpasBolivia #MUIFT #HumanRights #HistoricMilestone #092
