Girls face more danger of exploitation today than ever before, as a newly released report revealed that there are currently more than 650 million “child brides” in the world.

This disturbing reality was divulged in a special report by Gospel for Asia titled, “Rewriting the Tragedies of Girlhood” – awakening the world of this grim and silent tragedy when the U.N. International Day of the Girl was observed on October 11.

Stealing girls’ childhood

Across the world, millions of young girls are being robbed of their childhood and forced into sex trafficking on a daily basis.

“As women’s rights take center stage in the U.S. and many parts of the world, the reality for millions of girls worldwide is sexual exploitation and forced marriage before the age of 13,” Gospel for Asia (GFA) reported in its press release. “The horrific treatment of girls include sex trafficking, sex-selective abortions and denial of education.”

Atrocities on different continents are occasionally reported, as Gospel for Asia (GFA) lists below, but often, little to nothing is done to end the horrific exploitation and victimization of girls:

  • “In 2014, the kidnapping of 200 schoolgirls in Nigeria by Boko Haram terrorists grabbed the headlines, but rampant abuse of girls across Africa and Asia continues largely under the radar.”
  • “In Bangladesh, a survey of 375 sex workers revealed nearly half of them were child brides – married as young as 11, and trafficked into prostitution.”
