This kind of thing makes me feel so helpless. But one hope - the growing trend to help the *women* of any 3rd world society. The world is slowly, slowly, slowly getting better in that way.

The documentary I watched featured a 12 year old boy who was fed up with seeing his classmates being taken away to get married that he became something of a social campaigner. He goes around trying to find girls who are at risk and taking their details and talking to their families etc. etc. He was such an inspiration.
