An estimate of 15 million girls under the age of 18 years old are being married every year. This act deprives them of their rights to education, well being and developing themselves.
Just when you thought that children are supposed to be outside having fun, many of them are being prepared to be the wives of older men who are old enough to be their father.
This act is gruesome since these children are still young in appearance as well as in their minds. They are still not capable of being a wife whether it is physical or emotional but they are still being forced into this kind of ‘tradition’.
Now, KAFA had the idea of creating a social experiment in Lebanon, where children often marry at the young age of 9.
How the people reacted to the situation is clearly amazing. It is good to see that there are people who would stand up for these children knowing that it is not good for them.
