Many of you have expressed shock and alarm at Iraq’s proposed bill to lower the minimum age of marriage for girls at 9. The Iraqi Council of Representatives is set to vote on the bill in the coming weeks, maybe days. Walk Free is launching a petition to call on the Council to vote “no” to the bill and oppose the legalisation of child marriage. You can sign their petition here: walkfree.org/iraq-child-marriage/
