The faces of child marriage
Tumblr media
Tehani, 8, Yemen. “Whenever I saw him, I hid. I hated to see him,” Tehani (in pink) recalls of the early days of her marriage to Majed, when she was 6 and he was 25. The young wife posed for a portrait with former classmate Ghada, also a child bride, outside their home in Hajjah.
Tumblr media
Destaye, 11, and Addisu, 23, Ethiopia. Addisu and his new bride Destaye are married in a traditional Ethiopian Orthodox wedding in the rural areas outside the city of Gondar, Ethiopia. Community members said that because of his standing as a priest, Addisu’s bride had to be a virgin. This was the reason Destaye was given to him at such a young age.
Tumblr media
Rajani, 5, India. Long after midnight, Rajani is roused from sleep and carried by her uncle to her wedding. Child marriage is illegal in India, so ceremonies are often held in the wee hours of the morning. It becomes a secret the whole village keeps, explained one farmer.
Tumblr media
Bishal, 15, and Surita, 16, Nepal. Bishal accepts gifts from visitors as his new bride, Surita, sits bored at her new home. Here in Nepal, as in many countries, not only girls, but boys too are married young.
Tumblr media
Faiz, 40, and Ghulam, 11, Afghanistan. Ghulam and Faiz sit for a portrait in her home before their wedding in Afghanistan. According to the U.S. Department of State report “Human Rights Practices for 2011,” approximately 60 percent of girls were married younger than the legal age of 16. Once the girl’s father has agreed to the engagement, she is pulled out of school immediately.
Tumblr media
Sarita, 15, India. Sarita is seen in tears before she is sent to her new home with her new groom. The previous day, she and her 8-year-old sister Maya were married to sibling brothers.
Tumblr media
Leyualem is transported by mule to her new home on her wedding day. The men later said the cloth was placed over her head so she would not be able to find her way back home, should she want to escape the marriage.
Tumblr media
Asia, 14, Yemen. Asia washes her newborn at home in Hajjah while her 2-year-old daughter plays. Asia is still bleeding and ill from childbirth, yet has no knowledge of how to care for herself or access to maternal health care.
Tumblr media
Mejgon, 16, Afghanistan. Mejgon weeps in the arms of her case worker near fellow residents at an NGO shelter run by Afghan women in Herat, Afghanistan. Mejgon’s father sold her at the age of 11 to a 60-year-old man for two boxes of heroin.
Tumblr media
Jamila, 15, Afghanistan. Kandahar policewoman Malalai Kakar arrests a man who repeatedly stabbed his wife, 15 and mother of two children, for disobeying him. When asked what would happen to the husband for this crime, “Nothing,” Kakar said. “Men are kings here.” Kakar was later killed by the Taliban.

Tumblr media
Feminists are often asked whether pornography causes rape. The fact is that rape and prostitution caused and continue to cause pornography. Politically, culturally, socially, sexually, and economically, rape and prostitution generated pornography; and pornography depends for its continued existence on the rape and prostitution of women. - Andrea Dworkin
(HUGE TRIGGER WARNING FOR THE CONTENT AHEAD)
My stepdad has been with me ever since I was only a few months old. I am twenty-one now. He’s a loving dad to me and my siblings. He provides for us. He’s always been there when we needed him. He has his flaws, sure, but I think all dads do, right?
Some time ago, I was using his computer to study. I needed to access a website I had been on a few days back, so I went into the browser history: big mistake, as you’re probably already pointing out in your own head. And I guess it would’ve been awkward - but almost to be expected - finding “normal” porn in there. Like, I’d roll my eyes, feel embarrassed, move on.
But, unfortunately, that wasn’t the case.
That day, I found out my loving stepdad watches stepdaughter rape pornography. I found out he had been watching a video titled “Feminist raped while boyfriend watches”. I found out he gets off to videos depicting violence against women, specifically the kind that involves scenarios which resemble his real life and women who are just like me.
That was my breaking point to stop consuming pornography and drop all of my support for the industry: I had already been trying to quit for awhile, but having trouble. It was the realization that the men in our lives also access these websites and watch the videos in there, videos that provide them with violent and sick scenarios involving us, the women around them, that finally broke me completely.
Tumblr media
Your teachers have access to porn videos of schoolgirl rape. Your pumblers, you electricians, your landlords, your cashiers, your uncles, your fathers, your doctors - all these men you interact with can go home and watch these videos while they fantasize about violently assaulting you.
And what does that mean? For women, these fantasies are very real fears. For women, they’re a threat, they’re crimes which repeteadly are committed against our sisters and ourselves. And how scary is it that men can enjoy such a wide variety of videos depicting these horrors?
