Fraidy Reiss

Fraidy Reiss founded the nonprofit Unchained At Last, that helps women and girls escape arranged  and forced marriages, and it works to end child marriage in the United States.

Across the United States, tens of thousands of children have entered into arranged or forced marriages in recent years.

Arun Venugopal, reporter and the creator of Micropolis—WNYC’s multi-platform series examining race, sexuality, religion, street life and other issues that define New York City—explores the old-fashioned practice of arranged marriage. He’ll be joined by Fraidy Reiss, who founded Unchained At Last, an organization to help women leave their arranged marriages, as she herself did.
