Do you believe, or know someone who believes, that being a girl is unlucky? The belief perpetuates itself, until one person stands up and decides to do something about it. Melka was forced into marriage at age 14 and suffered the terrible consequences. Although uneducated, Melka has made it her mission to teach other girls to stand up to the heinous practice. This story is of Ethiopia, but it strikes a chord with so many who have experienced the same or seen someone else become a victim.....as the practice continues across the globe. It is time to put an end to child marriage, and start educating and respecting women.
