Laila Eshan is an author, speaker, and founder of I Want Freedom, a growing global movement and charity dedicated to ending forced and arranged marriages. At just 16 years old, she was forced into a marriage that took her from Germany to the United States—an experience that silenced her voice for years but ultimately ignited a powerful mission to reclaim it.

Becoming a single mother of four, Laila found her way to freedom from an unwanted and abusive marriage—transforming her pain into purpose and resilience into strength.

Today, Laila uses her story not just to inspire, but to drive real change. Through her memoir, I Want Freedom, she exposes the hidden reality millions of girls face worldwide and turns pain into purpose—advocating for education, protection, and financial independence for those at risk. Her voice has reached international platforms, and her message is clear: this is not culture, it is a human rights crisis.

With a background in real estate, Laila represents resilience, reinvention, and courage at every stage of life. Her work calls on individuals, leaders, and organizations to stand together, take action, and become part of a movement in which freedom is no longer a privilege but a right.

This isn’t just her story. It’s a call to action.
