UNICEFstarted a really powerful and also heart breaking campaign about a really
sensitive issue: the child marriage. I support this campaign and I promote this
action against early marriage. Also I agree that each country has its own
cultural customs and traditions and they do this from generations, but we cannot
pretend that is their problem and we will turn our face on the other side to
not see this problem. Because is a problem. Imagine yourself or your sister or
daughter...grabbing her out of her normal childhood and force her to grow up overnight.
We all know that most of these things happen in Arab countries or India
and arranged marriages are something very common there. I don't have anything
against arranged marriages, but taking your child as a business opportunity is
something else. STOP selling children for money! STOP making a business deal
with your own children! I respect the culture, but I accuse that craving for
money that makes people selling bodies and souls.
I
hope UNICEF will have a positive impact this way and people will start take
action against this. Let children grow up naturally! It's enough this nowadays
world makes our children to see a lot of garbage on TV or internet or
everywhere, at least let them have that small percent of purity and let them
become normal adults!.
More informations about this campaign you can find on UNICEF's website
Also this year I have seen a music video clip that is totally appropriate for this campaign. The group is from Morocco and it's called Fnaïre. This MV has a really explicit message about this topic.
