SUMMARY:End Child Marriage in WA Chain-in Press Event in Olympia
DESCRIPTION:Please RSVP by Dec 15th\nChild marriage is an urgent problem in Washington. Dangerous legal loopholes allow parents to enter a child of ANY AGE into marriage without any input required from the child\, and without any real legal recourse for a child who does not want to marry. \nSome 5\,048 minors as young as 13 were entered into marriage in Washington between 2000 and 2021. More than 80% were girls wed to adult men\, and between 38 and 51 marriages occurred with a spousal age difference that met the definition of a sex crime. \nFurthermore\, child marriage creates a nightmarish legal trap that destroys nearly every aspect of an American girl’s life. There’s a reason the U.S. State Department has called marriage before 18 a “human rights abuse.” \nThis calls for a protest. \nWe at Unchained At Last urge you to Chain-In with us in Olympia on January 18. We’ll gather on the North Steps of the Washington State Capitol wearing bridal gowns and veils\, with our arms chained and mouths taped\, to protest forced and child marriage and urge legislators to pass SB5695/HB1455\, the simple\, commonsense bill that would end child marriage in Washington. \nWe provide the bridal gowns\, veils and chains. All you need to do is register on this page – and join us to insist Washington legislators end child marriage! \nSpeakers include: \n\nSen. Manka Dhingra\nFraidy Reiss\, Unchained At Last\nBecca Powell\, Unchained At Last\n\nEnding Child Marriage in the United States \nWe at Unchained started and now lead a growing national movement to end child marriage in the United States by making the marriage age 18\, no exceptions\, in all 50 states. \nMarriage before 18 can too easily be forced\, because minors\, even a day before their 18th birthday\, have limited legal rights that make resisting or escaping an unwanted marriage nearly impossible. Further\, marriage before 18 is a human rights abuse that destroys American girls’ health\, education and economic opportunities and greatly increases their risk of experiencing violence.\n \nJoin the movement. Chain-In with us to demand an end to this human rights abuse.\n \n\nRead more here about Chain-Ins\, the powerful form of peaceful protest that we invented to raise awareness of forced and child marriage in the United States. \n[tx_button style=”default” text=”RSVP” url=”https://actionnetwork.org/events/22e6168929ef91d916d45af3e3197362/?source=direct_link&” color=”#dd3333″ textcolor=”” target=”blank”] \n\nChain-In FAQs\nQ: I don’t have a bridal gown and veil. What should I do? \nA: No problem. Simply indicate when you register that you want us to loan you a free gown and veil\, and tell us what size you are. (We have an arsenal of some 100 bridal gowns that people have donated to us for use at Chain-Ins.) \nQ: I prefer not to wear bridal clothing and/or not to chain my arms or tape my mouth. May I still join the Chain-In? \nA: Absolutely. The full Chain-In experience involves wearing a bridal gown and chains\, but if that makes you uncomfortable\, we still want you to protest with us. \nQ: I do not identify as female. Should I still join and wear a bridal gown and veil? \nA: Yes\, please! You are encouraged to join and to wear a gown and veil regardless of your gender identity. \nQ: Should I bring my own chains and tape? \nA: No\, we will provide free plastic chains and comfortable tape. \nQ: Is this legal? \nA: Yes\, we have the backing of the First Amendment\, and we have permission to hold this Chain-In. \nQ: How much does it cost to join the Chain-In? \nA: Joining the Chain-In is free – but please consider donating to help offset the cost of the Chain-In and to help us fight forced and child marriage in the U.S. through direct services and systems change. \nQ: Where is the exact Chain-In location? \nA: The Chain-In will take place on the north steps of the Washington State Capitol at 416 Sid Snyder Ave. SW in Olympia. \nQ: What time does the Chain-In begin and end? \n  \nA: Please arrive by 11:30 a.m. PT to sign in and change into Chain-In attire. The Chain-In will begin at 12:00 p.m. and end by 12:45 p.m. \nQ: Will the Chain-In proceed in case of bad weather? \nA: Yes\, we will Chain-In regardless of weather conditions. \nQ: How else can I help end child and forced marriage? \nA: Whether or not you can join the Chain-In\, please take these steps: \n\nDonate.

SUMMARY:Program: Why Washington Needs to Eliminate Statute of limitations on Child Sexual Abuse
DESCRIPTION:Speaker Leah Griffin\nWashington State Association for Justice\nThursday Sept 21st 11:30- 1pm\nMeeting will be held over Zoom. – email info@zontaeverett .org for the zoom link\n \nMeeting starts at 11:30 with Club announcements and updates\nSpeaker will start at 12:00.\n \nChildhood Sexual Assault is more common than you might think.\n And the trauma and age of the victim is unique in preventing and delaying reporting of the abuse.\n \n\n 2SHB 1618 eliminates the civil statute of limitations for childhood sexual abuse. This bill acknowledges the unique challenges survivors face and recognizes that there should be no time limit to commence an action for injury suffered as a result of childhood sexual abuse. 2SHB 1618 will shift the cost burden of child sexual abuse from the victims and society at large to those who caused harm and hold perpetrators accountable  \nData from the Department of Justice suggests that 86% of child sexual abuse goes unreported altogether. When a victim does report\, it is likely they will delay disclosure well into adulthood. While we all hope that a survivor would disclose abuse when it happened\, data reveals a different reality. In a study of over 1\,000 survivors\, the average age at the time of disclosing child sex abuse was about 52 years.  \n\nLeah Griffin is a leading advocate in Washington state for survivors of sexual assault.\nOver the past eight years\, she has been instrumental in passing multiple laws to reform the systems which failed her as a victim of sexual assault. Those laws lead to the elimination of the rape kit backlog\, tracking for sexual assault kits\, survivors’ rights\, police training\, and hospital protocols. She led on the Approve R90 campaign to create inclusive sexual health education in WA state school curriculum\, and works on the coalition behind the Keep Our Care Act to provide oversight to religiously affiliated hospital mergers which seek to deny reproductive and trans healthcare. \nDownload the Flyer and invite your colleagues to this virtual event: \n \nSept Program- Leah Griffin-8 \n
