“Child, Early & Forced Marriage.” Childmothers, www.childmothers.org/issues/forced-marriage/index.html.
This article points out how child, early and forced marriage are considered harmful practice alongside female genital mutilation. A young girl name Nargis shares her story of bing in a forced marriage and explains the thing she had to go through and overcome being only 16. It talks about the violations it has against international human right. This article will help bring in facts that are harder to hear. There are very strong testimonies and stories of young girls experiences in forced marriages.
“Child, Early, and Forced Marriage: United States Government’s Response.” U.S. Agency for International Development, 18 Aug. 2014, www.usaid.gov/news-information/fact-sheets/child-early-and-forced-marriage-usg-response.
This citation focuses on comparing forced marriage in the U.S. to around the world. This will allow me to compare the difference between a nation were I was raised and custom too to a place I know nothing of. It brings up really great points on how risky it is for children to be conceiving at such a young ages. They talk of how many girls die during childbirth and the number of girls that have complications. This article will be helpful to my research because although I am focusing on more poverty countries it will help give an insight to the issues faced in countries like the U.S.. This will solidify my information on how forced marriage is portrayed in different countries.
Nour, Nawal M. “Child Marriage: A Silent Health and Human Rights Issue.” Reviews in Obstetrics and Gynecology, MedReviews, LLC, 2009, www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2672998/.
This article was written by Nawal M. Nour who is a gynecologist. He states that children having kids or partaking in sexual activity can cause many issues not only in the mother but also the baby. This article will be able to help me with my research because I will be able to get the point of view not only someone who is a minority but also in the medical field. I plan to use his point of view when talking about the effects of young girls who have to carry children.
Saliba, Katrine. “Lynne Featherstone’s Speech on Child, Forced and Early Marriage.” Liberal Democrats, Http://Www.libdems.org.uk/, 12 May 2014, www.libdems.org.uk/lynne_featherstones_speech_on_child_forced_and_early_marriage.
This citation was a speech given by lynne Featherstones. She speaks of events that took places in Nigeria where more than 200 girls were abducted and threatened to be sold into slavery. This shows how they lose all over their fundamental rights without any choice. This article will assist me in furthering my research with recent events of tragedies in other countries. Featherstone is a liberal democrat which will help assist me in proving more points that I believe in.
