Let the world's children enjoy their childhoods free from State supported paedophilia

  • af: Judith King
  • mottagare: UNHCR and Governments of countries which allow child sexual exploitation

An 8 year-old Yemeni child bride recently died on her wedding night from internal hemorrhaging. She was married to a man five times her age. As disgusting as the tradition of marrying off children to much older men is, it is common practice in Yemen. More than a quarter of the female population are married before the age of 15.

In 2010, a 12 year-old girl passed away after struggling for three days in labor, attempting to give birth to a baby. Countless other children have been subjected to similar atrocities.

Children are being sexually abused in so many countries. Sign this petition to show the world wants children protected by having a universal age of consent  by setting the minimum age of consent at 18 to protect the rights of children.

UNHCR and Governments need to act now to stop this child abuse.
