Too Young to Wed: The Secret World of Child Brides
 |
Every year, throughout the world, millions of young girls are forced into marriage. Child marriage is outlawed in many countries and international agreements forbid the practice yet this tradition still spans continents, language, religion and caste.
Over an eight-year period, photographer Stephanie Sinclair has investigated the phenomenon of child marriage in India, Yemen, Afghanistan, Nepal and Ethiopia. Her multimedia presentation, produced in association with National Geographic, synthesizes this body of work into a call to action.
Stephanie Sinclair's images are featured in a story on child marriage in the June 2011 issue of National Geographic magazine.
How to help: National Geographic has compiled a list of organizations that encourage families to delay marriage and give girls an opportunity to reach their full potential.
In a related post Stephanie Sinclair shares the difficult experiences child brides face. She discusses the need for their voices to be heard and the challenges she faced as a journalist who witnessed their struggles and abuse.

Life in Northern Afghanistan as Taliban Take Control
 |
While the debate in Washington is focused on how soon and to which extent to withdraw U.S. troops from Afghanistan, insurgents are rapidly gaining ground in the country's north. This audio slideshow, the product of Anna Badkhen's second month-long journey through northern Afghanistan this spring, offers a glimpse into the life of Afghans as the Taliban take over their villages—swiftly, unchallenged, and barely noticed by the rest of the world. |

The Penan of Borneo
 |
The Penan people are little in stature, little in number and little in the eyes of the government.
Gentle former nomads, the Penan are now on the frontline of a struggle to save the last unprotected rainforest of Sarawak. They are up against the Goliaths of Malaysian logging, multi-billion dollar conglomerates advancing on the last of Sarawak's virgin forests, and leaving behind a wasteland of palm oil plantations. |

Batek Negritos
 |
The Batek Negrito people are little in stature, little in number and little in the eyes of the government.
Now their forest homeland has been reduced to a sliver of old-growth rainforest sandwiched between Taman Negara National Park, which the government does not want them to enter, and the vast oil palm plantations planted after the forest was clear cut. |

Egypt: This Revolution Is Being Televised
 |
While former President Hosni Mubarak has resigned, a military council continues to rule Egypt. Some citizens express confidence in the interim government and its promises of free elections starting in September. But activists from Tahrir Square say the military continues to arbitrarily arrest and abuse demonstrators, and hasn't dealt with the country's many economic problems. Foreign correspondent Reese Erlich talked with the Tahrir Square activists during a recent 100,000 person demonstration.
