About Area 23 and “Unseen Housewives”

Area 23 is a health advertising agency that conceived of and produced “Unseen Housewives” pro bono to raise awareness of Unchained’s work to end child marriage in the U.S. “Unseen Housewives” is based on the true stories of four of the many American child marriage survivors who have partnered with Unchained to stop this human rights abuse from destroying more lives.
