@cbsnews: Colombian representatives erupted in cheers after the country’s Senate approved a law prohibiting the marriage of minors on Wednesday, following a 17-year campaign to ban child marriage. #colombia
The fact that we have to say leave kids alone is freaking insane! I wish I had a better word because this doesn’t do it justice.

The fact that this is even an issue is so sad. Something so precious so fragile and we have to fight for their rights in a court is so sad.

Why on earth would it take 17 YEARS?? The moment it was presented it should have been straight through with a “Can’t believe we didn’t already have it in writing”

I'm so proud of them. My paternal grandma is Afro-Colombian and she called me in tears about this. She worked hard to spread the word of this.

In my family we were not allowed to have boyfriends until we graduated in college. We get spanked or yelled at if they see us flirting with boys.
