That's sad. I've heard of some of that but I had no idea how bad it really is.

I am sorry to hear this. The exploitation of children and women is a terrible thing in the world.

It is so especially devastating to hear events like this that effect people across multiple generations horrible I am curious by what you are refering to as you personally relating to this story.

Such tragedy is horrible & saddening but i too, am curious, by what you are referring to, as you personally relate to this story

wow Dika. that was an extremely interesting read. sad and depressing, but very interesting. It's kind of amazing the simple things we take for granted here, and how it makes us forget that it's not like it is here everywhere.

Thanks so much for the add!

Roma culture needs a revolution perhaps ?

btw HI from somewhere else in Ohio

DAMN 18 and his 2nd marriage? That is just crazy.

My god I can't believe that poor girl was forced to be married, she is only 14 for god sake, she should still be playing.

No one is anyones property.

My god I can't believe the government is letting this go on, even though it is against the law.

Wow, I just can't believe those men would do that, they are not real men, they are animals.

That really breaks my heart, I don't see how the government does not take action, the people live there and they should have to follow the laws just like everyone else, not one should be treated like they are live stock, not one should be sold, that is slavery and no where on earth should that be allowed to happen.

that's so sad
in my country, there are other problems with the guinean community. some of the families continue to practice excision

how to stop these acts, i don't know

Wow, so sad, but that was a very informative read. I had no idea that people still did that.

Yeah unfortunately I've read about this a few other times too. If you have any links to post about helping in any way you def should, it's so sad and disgusting. Anyways, sorry I haven't seen much of you, I miss you and I hope you're doing well.

Maybe its hard to believe for north americans but no so hard to europeans. Maybe the one that needs to fight hard is the little girls. Culture and traditions are changed but people not laws.

Bet for her and for u

Yes the world is bigger than the US of A but fucked up shit like this happens ALL over the world all you can do is help the people around you and hope this is passed on. Now thats a nice idea, people helping people. We are all from the same start, and have the same finish, make the most of whats in between!

Uh...well...is it your birthday or not? If it is, Happy Birthday!
