I am 16 years old; I don’t date or worry about who I will marry, none of that matters right now because I am still a child. But girls in other countries don’t live in the same reality I do. Girls my age are already wives, and mothers, enduring abuse sexually, physically, and emotionally. Their freedoms stripped away from them until they are left with nothing but this life of cleaning, cooking, and pleasuring a husband that is over twice their age. Why should one girl have to grow up so much faster because of where she was born? Is it a twist of fate that I get to sit on my laptop without a care in the world or fear of my future, while another girl just like me has already endured more human rights violations that I can name? How can her body and her freedom have a fixed value placed on it while I am told that nothing is worth more than my body and happiness? Because she was born across the world, she now has to live without proper education or human rights? It is unethical that geography should have any role in a woman’s worth, yet it does. So I chose to go down the rabbit hole that is child marriage to see what exactly is holding young girls back from having opportunities and reaching their full potential. At the beginning of this project, It seemed like I had opened up the pandora’s box of a global issue, as you will see in my ISU.
