    this 11-year-old can be seen addressing her concerns with forced child marriages, which often result in abusive and neglectful relationships, thus demonstrating that sometimes parent's don't know what's best for their children -

    i think we can all relate to this girl to a degree, as she, like us, is advocating for the right to love freely. brave little person.

    Those are some strong words for such a young child. However, I can't help but agree with her. She speaks the truth. She is very brave indeed.

    Incredibly well spoken for her age, and courageous.

    I hope she stays safe.

    God only knows what her parents are gonna do/did. I don't think the Yemini government is going to do anything in this situation either. As it's common practice there.

    for some reason, a newborn "royal" baby is receiving more news coverage than this eloquent little girl who's risking her life by making a stand for her rights as a person.
