Summary
Colombia has banned child marriage after 17 years of advocacy and eight failed legislative attempts, closing a 137-year legal loophole that allowed minors to marry with parental consent or cohabit as informal spouses.
The new law, “They are Girls, Not Wives,” aligns Colombia with international standards and makes it one of 12 Latin American countries to entirely prohibit marriage under 18.
Advocacy groups celebrated the historic victory but emphasized the need for policies addressing poverty, machismo, and systemic inequalities that fuel child marriage, particularly in rural and Indigenous communities.
lmao, predictable
anti-white racism is not a thing. racism is a system of domination white people (or rather the people who would go on to call themselves white) invented to facilitate colonialism
and yes, white people are the only ones overwhelmingly supporting fascism because fascism’s main promise is to maintain (and reinforce) white supremacy and racism. it’s not hard to understand
Oh look. Racist defends racism and doubles down.
You’ll fit right in when Trump takes over.
