Due to laws, traditions and cultures, very early child marriage occurs
in many countries around the world. This leads to extreme abuse and
trauma for these young girls who are a part of this. “Child Brides:
Stolen Lives” outlines the very sad and difficult aspects of early child
marriage. Emmy Award winning journalist Maria Hinojosa and PBS
received our award for this film. Their work provides us with much
awareness and understanding of this global problem. The film takes us
on a journey into the lives of girls who have experienced the abuse of
early child marriage. Girls rights to safety and happiness should be
protected at all times.
