Young girls are being forced to marry as young as 5 years old, LET’S ACT!
The consequences of young girls being forced to marry are irreversible: school drop offs, poverty, rape, underage pregnancy, loss of freedom, depression, domestic violence… which sometimes result in suicide. Still in 2016, the statistics are alarming. More than 700 million women have been victims of forced marriage and more than 1 in 3 were aged less than 15 years old. This global problem hits primarily developing countries because of their strict religious framework and oppressive laws against women. At the same time, the United Nations recently put forward a global plan to allow the age of sexual rights and consent to be 10 years old. How is this meant to have a positive effect on young girls being abused and forced to marry against their will? Let’s sign and support. It is time to stop this terrible act.
Action plan strategy Young girls are being forced to marry as young as 5 years old, LET’S ACT!
To sign this petition and to hand it over to the United Nations. The petition clearly requests that the United Nations construct a legislative text against forced marriages and to reinforce punishment for the abuse of this practice. We also have to intervene before United Nations put their adjusted sexual rights declaration into practice.
Millions of young girls are suffering in silence because of religion, patriarchy and absurd laws.
Forced marriage is a phenomenon that not only has catastrophic effects on young girls but also creates long terms consequences. These girls live in unhealthy environments, being victims of their husband and husband’s family and do not have access to education.
With this petition, we encourage the TOTAL AND COMPLETE BAN of forced marriage for young girls and encourage new reinforced punishment for those who do not obey this law. Furthermore, we URGENTLY request a citizen intervention about the sexual rights declaration (which would make the situation even worse) before it is implemented.
Update other Weroes on the situation using as much detail as possible. Back up your claim with articles, reports and any other source of information you deem important.
