Talking/tweeting is good but not enough, we need to practice and spread genuine compassion, charity and accepting individual human rights regardless of age and sex and race/ social groupings. Let's start small - with one's family members, neighbours, pets...

But it was very enlightening, by the way. I'm talking about light from the gutter. I had to dance topless for two years to make cash to pay my bills and save some money.

Statistics on child marriage in India are usually grim to read. Recently released data from the 2001 Census are no different. According to census figures, 1.5 million girls under the age of 15 are already married... ...the government must understand that legislation will only go so far in improving the plight of girls and women. Legislation must be supplemented by other measures such as education if a girl is to be empowered. Nobel laureate Amartya Sen, among others, has championed women’s literacy as a basic ingredient for their empowerment. This gives women a greater voice in deciding their future as well as raises their economic worth. If more and more girls are educated, and subsequently enter the job market, their parents are less likely to see them as economic burdens. This is likely to stem the rush to get girls married as quickly as possible... read more http://tinyurl.com/yldxp26 also do visit http://tinyurl.com/ygz6qzf some stats here from unicef http://tinyurl.com/yl5zzpc enough words already written about the issue and suffice i think to point..

"Childhood is no longer the playground of Innocence". and this problem though is rampant in villages and the remote areas of our country, we should not delude ourselves in believing that The girl child in cities and metros are better off...the situation is grim there as well. This attitude stems out of medieval attitude of people towards female sex and also a gross lack of mannerism in our society, and this can only change through spread of awareness, people speaking out against such incidents of child violence and molestations. Our silence promotes these incidents, it's time that people start speaking up and taking stands against these issues, so that the guilty are punished and feel deterred in doing something like this again.

What I feel is we need to make people educated on these stuffs. If the young girl or her friends or some of the unknown well wisher of her knows that child marriage & human trading is illegal then they might have atleast attempted to save them legally. More than this people should be made matured in these aspects, they should be taught what they are doing is wrong. If we keep doing this if not now, atleast in next generation or next to next it will change... Most valuable thing that we can give to society is educate people who are deprived of education.... Let's try to bring a change.... It’s very sensible writing to expose the real facts. What I feel is we need to make people educated on these stuffs.
