action alert! Many young girls in Yemen are forced into marriage, usually with much older men. They face a life of domestic and sexual slavery. Speak out against the modern slavery of young girls. Help End Forced Child Marriage please share it helps!     Dear Indra, A young girl from Yemen, Rawan, was just 8 years old when she was forced to marry a man five times her age. She died soon thereafter from the extensive internal injuries she sustained on her "wedding night." How many more children will have to suffer before the Yemeni government takes action? Tell government officials to immediately take action to stop child marriage in Yemen. As in several other countries around the world, there is no law prohibiting forced child marriage in Yemen. Because of this, millions of young girls are forced to live a life of modern slavery. Children obviously have no say in this; it's up to government leaders to step in and protect little girls like Rawan. Take action today to help end child slavery. Call on the government of Yemen to ban forced child marriage. Thank you for taking action, Roseanne C. Care2 and ThePetitionSite Team
