One key takeaway from #LTVpanel:
We are up against the view that getting married and having a baby are mutually inclusive - that if women’s bodies can do one they should do the other.
We cannot have a law that silently supports this.

An honour to listen to the incredible @payzeemalika share her story of child marriage. We cannot expect children to call out parental coercion - we need to end #childmarriage in the UK @IKWRO @KNFMHBV @childnotbride #LTVpanel

I heard some incredibly powerful testimony from @PayzeeMalika and other inspiring speakers about child marriage. This has to stop and I would encourage everyone to write to their MPs about it. @SarahChampionMP and I will continue to campaign in Parliament. @BridesDoGood @IKWRO
