8 Years Old and Married - The Secret World of Child Brides

The secret world of child brides, happens in many countries and cultures.
It's terrible and the true, this is outright criminal and barbaric but still happening in this day and age.

An eight year old is raped in 'marriage', a 14 year old is pregnant and scared she will die at birth...

Watch the short video for an insight.
(Please do not watch this with young children nearby, there is nothing graphic but sex is mentioned and the video is not appropriate for young ears.)

Stephanie Sinclair's investigation compiled over 8 yrs for the National Geographic.

Emma Stone & Andrew Garfield: Celebrities doing it in style

You think I am thinking about fashion? No this is waaaay better.

Celebrities get 'papped' doing absolutely anything and nothing, glad to see this couple, Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield, using their 'powers' to do some good instead of just showing off the latest fashion!

Their sign, written on what looks like paper bags from a restaurant, otherwise known as 'doggy bags' says: "We just found out that there are paparazzi outside the restaurant we were eating in. So...why not take this opportunity to bring attention to organizations that need and deserve it? www.wwo.org www.gildasclubnyc.org. Have a great day!"

Now that is something! The websites they are directing us to are...

Worldwide Orphans Program http://www.wwo.org/  - To transform the lives of orphaned children to help them become healthy, independent, productive members of their communities and the world.

Gilda's Club New York City http://www.gildasclubnyc.org/ - Support for people living with Cancer

Now that is publicity with a good heart!
