In this episode, I’m talking to Betsy Butler, a former California Assemblymember, who has been fighting for equity and justice throughout her career.
Betsy talks about the fact that child marriage is still legal in 35 states including California!
Today, with Roar as One, she takes on the fight to stop child marriage in California.
Betsy, as CEO of the California Women's Law Center, has been working with California State legislators to stop child marriage in California. Most surprising and shocking, there is no minimum age to get married in California. This allows child rapists and predators to escape justice and accountability by simply marrying their child victims.
Too often, we hear about "third-world" countries, selling young girls into sexual slavery through marriage to older men, for money, religion, tradition, or survival. But the truth is, the United States is just as bad for young girls and teens.
Betsy has been a fighter for justice for women and girls throughout her career. Betsy reveals for the first time that she too has been a victim of sexual harassment throughout her powerful career.
