Teen About Unchained At Last Unchained At Last, founded by a forced-marriage survivor, is the only organization dedicated to ending forced and child marriage in the United States through direct services and advocacy. Unchained provides comprehensive, often lifesaving legal and social services and emotional support to help women, girls, LGBTQ individuals and others to resist or escape arranged / forced marriages and rebuild their lives. At the same time, Unchained pushes for social, policy and legal change; the organization started and now leads a growing national movement to end child marriage in the United States. Watch Unchained’s founder speak about the organization’s work on TEDx Talks or NPR’s The Takeaway. Or read about it in The New York Times, The Washington Post or CNN.com.
