Episode Details

Marriage should be her choice, not her fate. At just 9 years old, Asinyen spends hours every day collecting water, gathering firewood, and caring for her family before she ever gets a chance to just be a kid. For girls living in extreme poverty, this is reality. Without support, harmful social norms and a lack of opportunity can cut short their education, childhood, and future. That's why World Vision's Big Dream to End Child Marriage is helping girls in Kenya and Bangladesh stay safe, stay in school, and grow into who God created them to be. This International Day of the Girl, join us in standing with girls like Asinyen: www.worldvision.org/endchildmarriage #DayOfTheGirl #EndChildMarriage
