My name is Dawn Tyree, and I am writing to you because I would like to speak on the record regarding #HB3018 to end #childmarriage in #WestVirginia. I am a survivor of child marriage. I was 13-years-old when I was forced to marry my 32-year-old abuser. He had been sexually abus.
I had no rights over my body. Not one adult talked to me about birth control, and at 14 years old, I was expecting my second child. I was a mother of two at age 15. Pregnant again at 16 years old.
Let's end #childmarriage #wvleg! Do the right thing and protect children in #WestVirginia. Girls belong in classrooms not bedrooms. Pass #HB3018 w/ no amendments.
You can do it!
You can do it!
