The Problems:

• Girls younger than 15 are five times more likely to die in childbirth than women in their 20s. Pregnancy is the leading cause of death worldwide for women ages 15 to 19. Girls age 15-19 are more likely (66.6%) to experience delivery complications compared to 30-34 year-old women (59.7%)2 and neonatal, infant and child mortality rates are much higher for younger girls.
• Girls' physiological vulnerability due to the small size, inelasticity, and lack of lubrication of the vagina and cervix is compounded by their exposure to frequent, unprotected, and sometimes forced sexual intercourse within marriage;
• Premature childbirth can lead to a variety of health problems for mothers, including fistula, a debilitating condition that causes chronic incontinence.
• Obstetric fistula results when a young mother’s vagina, bladder and/or rectum tear during childbirth, a condition that causes urine and feces leakage. It can occur when a young woman with underdeveloped physiology gives birth. Fistula patients are commonly poor women, ages 15 to 20, many of whom report early marriage. (United Nations Population Fund (2003). Obstetric Fistula Needs Assessment Report: Findings From Nine African Countries. UNFPA: New York.)
• Girls with fistula are often abandoned by their husbands and ostracized by society. There are approximately 2 million girls living with fistula, and 100,000 new cases every year. http://www.pbs.org/now/shows/341/facts.html
• Prolonged and obstructed labor, which is common among pregnant young adolescents, can lead to hemorrhage, severe infection, and maternal death. This is especially true for girls who experience additional pregnancy-related complications such as eclampsia. http://www.iwhc.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=3487&Itemid=629
• Child brides face a higher risk of contracting HIV because they often marry an older man with more sexual experience. For example, in Kisumu, Kenya, HIV infection rates are nearly 33 percent among married girls

ages 15 - 19, compared with 22 percent among unmarried, sexually-active girls of the same age.

• Young girls are more physically susceptible to STD's, have less access to reproductive education and health services but also because, young girls' negotiation skills and experience to ensure a healthy sexual life are less developed.

The Solution:

 

In a Normal Society, a Society that appreciate Life and the Value of Life along with the understanding that the Human Physical body is that which allow us to have a Life - a common sense approach would be to have children only when the Human Physical Body is fully prepared for Pregnancy and Labor.

As I've mentioned in the previous blog, one of the main goal within Equal Money Capitalism System, is a free access to Education and thus, to becoming Self Aware of your human physical body.

 

Understand that within the current Cultural Design of Child Marriages, Awareness and understanding of the Pregnancy and Labor Consequences, is lacking however, once the people become educated and aware of their body physiology and the Physiology of their Children's body, the cultural design would change as no parent would wish to put their child under such risks because remember, Poverty will no longer be the force of child marriage in an Equal Money System.

 

Obviously, the HIV risks will reduce almost to nothing among young girls as they would no longer be forced into marriage and sex before they had educated themselves and are ready to walk a

partnership that is supportive and empowering.

Thus, the solution is once again - A process of Education and Self Awareness which all human beings will now have access to, within an Equal Money Capitalism System.

 

Obviously, Health care would be available for all and would function within the Principle of Prevention. As you can see in the documentary Why Poverty - Welcome to the World, health care at the moment is unreachable in the poor areas of the world which perpetuate the problem for so many children however, it can be done, and it must be done because it wouldn't be human not to.

 

Healthcare in Equal Money System

Equal Money Healthcare will track the Food Regimen, the Treatment Regimen, and the Diagnostic Regimen of Each Human to Enhance the Outcome of Optimum Living. This will Result in Real Science, producing a Healthy World focusing on Prevention as the Best Cure.

 

For more information, please research the Health Care Wiki Equal Money Page

 

The Reward:

Healthy, Educated and Aware society would ensure a Better life for so many. The Children and their parents would have a true Free choice where all the information would be presented to them and they would have the skills to comprehend the information and therefor, make informative decisions that are best for themselves and their children.

 

Fatal diseases and conditions would tremendously be reduced once the Education Processes would be Effective and Supportive in terms of becoming aware of the risks, the probabilities, and the consequences to the human physical body. Health care would no longer be scarcity and would be a basic right for all living beings which would result with Healthy society

 

Well-Being Goal:

The Equal Money System will Study the Psychological Well-Being of Humans to Ensure a Lifestyle free of Fear. The focus will be on Supporting Life to Practically Live Fulfillment and Happiness in Ways where Self-Gratification will not Harm any Living Being or the Environment. This is to Ensure the continuation of Earth as an Effective Resource for the Enjoyment of Future Generations.

Why Poverty - Welcome to the World - Day 288

When I watched 'Why Poverty - Welcome to the World', I assumed that I'd be 'Prepared' to what I was about to watch. I mean, I'm well aware of what is going on in this world, I'm aware of the Severe Problems that this world is suffering from and I'm aware that people are suffering - I've seen it in my own eyes when I was traveling around the world. And yet - the documentary struck me hard.

 

I experienced extreme Sadness; Anger; Guilt; Shame; Frustration; but mostly Anger towards myself because I have seen in my own eyes what is going on in this world but I didn't care, it was a moment that passed and I could continue with my happy, no worries life. I was Angry that it took me so long to take my responsibility and investigate for real what is going on from the starting point of becoming the voice of these people that cannot stand for themselves and from the understanding that if I truly want to make a change in this world, I must get to the core/origin/source/root of the problem, to be able to stand as a living solution.

 

I was shocked from my own ignorance and the ignorance of humanity as a whole. I was shocked that we do nothing practical to use the resources that are available in this world and distribute it effectively so that no one would ever have to face what these people, the majority of this world, face in every single day.

 

Then I realized that I was Reacting instead of walking the Principle of Prevention and that as long as I'm Reacting, I'm of no use for the people that require us to stand together and walk the change we would like to see in this world. I realized that so long as I'm reacting, I'm wasting a breath that could have been a great assistance and support for these people if only I had committed myself to walk in every breath towards a solution that is best for all and within that, do what ever necessary to be done to End this Atrocity once and for all.

 

I transformed the Sadness to a constructive application - Self Motivation so absolutely that I commit myself to put my self interest aside, for this one life time and do what ever I'm capable of doing so that when I die, I die with no regret because I know, that I didn't accept and allow myself to waste a breath on irrelevant and meaningless things but rather, utilize every breath I have left in this One life time to assist and support myself to effectively stand up for those who needs us to stand up for a life that is best for all.

 

The truth is - I was about to access Depression as I felt Powerless and useless but fortunately, I live with people that reminded me that going into Depression won't make any difference but standing up from the depression and continue doing everything in my power to support myself and therefor, supporting others, is what counts.

So I decided to share with you this blog, as a support from me to you, as the support that I've received today in being able to transform the reactions into a solution because anything less than that, would prolong the process of us all.

 

There is a solution for this world, a solution that would bring about dignity and worth for each and every Human being, animal and nature. Unfortunately, I cannot do this alone. No one can. Because no one Alone created this mass, we all had participated and thus part of this fuck up and therefor, we all must stand cooperatively and Correct that which we are accountable for.

 

If you are interested in Life, interested in leaving a world of worth after you die, interested in making sure that no one would ever go to sleep hungry - stand up for LIFE today and invest your time in studying the Equal money System. The longer we wait, the longer others would have to continue suffering. We decide.

the Problem:

(Overview)

When investigating the information above, it is very clear that the Problems isn't a secret and the world's leaders are very much aware of the Problem and yet, there was never a real and substantial change. It is Estimate that unless a solution is established and implemented, by the next Decade, 142 Million Girls, under that age 18 which means that on Average, 38,000 Girls would married, Daily However, there is a solution that once implemented, ALL child Marriages will Cease to Exists.

 

What was yet to seen, realized and understood was the Western world Responsibility and accountability for the Problem due to our belief systems that we have a 'Free Choice' and within this 'Free Choice', only a few expressed their Choice in standing up to stop certain world's problem while us the majority, utilized our 'Free Choice' to protect our Self Interest.

 

So a note before I start sharing my investigation regarding Child Marriage -

The Solution was already presented by many that had come before me however, unless Equal Money System is in place, the solutions won't be implemented immediately and Child Marriage may only be completely stopped in 100 years from now with the birth of at least 2 generations to come however, 100 years indicate Billion of people and specifically girls that would be abused, suffering, raped, etc. We do not have the time to wait another 100 years to stop one single point - we must act urgently because the longer we wait, the longer the lives of many is destroyed and harmed.

 

Child Marriage (Under 18 years of age) Around the world:

 

Here is a few Facts and Figures that I took from the International Center for Research on Women (ICRW):

 

Child Marriage Around the world

• If present trends continue, 142 million girls will marry over the next decade. That’s 38,000 girls married every day for the next 10 years.

 

Poverty and Child Marriage

• Girls living in poor households are almost twice as likely to marry before 18 than girls in higher income households.
• More than half of the girls in Bangladesh, Mali, Mozambique and Niger are married before age 18. In these same countries, more than 75 percent of people live on less than $2 a day.

 

Education and Child Marriage

• Girls with higher levels of schooling are less likely to marry as children. In Mozambique, some 60 percent of girls with no education are married by 18, compared to 10 percent of girls with secondary schooling and less than one percent of girls with higher education.
• Educating adolescent girls has been a critical factor in increasing the age of marriage in a number of developing countries, including Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Taiwan and Thailand.

 

Health and Child Marriage

• Girls younger than 15 are five times more likely to die in childbirth than women in their 20s. Pregnancy is the leading cause of death worldwide for women ages 15 to 19.
• Child brides face a higher risk of contracting HIV because they often marry an older man with more sexual experience. Girls ages 15 – 19 are 2 to 6 times more likely to contract HIV than boys of the same age in sub-Saharan Africa.

 

Violence and Child Marriage

• Girls who marry before 18 are more likely to experience domestic violence than their peers who marry later. A study conducted by ICRW in two states in India found that girls who were married before 18 were twice as likely to report being beaten, slapped or threatened by their husbands than girls who married later.

• Child brides often show signs symptomatic of sexual abuse and post-traumatic stress such as feelings of hopelessness, helplessness and severe depression.

 

Religion and Child Marriage

• No one religious affiliation was associated with child marriage, according to a 2007 ICRW study. Rather, a variety of religions are associated with child marriage in countries throughout the world.

Though, the problem is much more sever than the Numbers and facts that are shared here. The Root of the Problem is Money as the Foundation of Child Marriage. In many cases, the Girl is being sent of to get married so that her family will no longer have to hold the burden of her Living Expanses wherein in other cases, the girl's family could get out of Debt once the Girl is sent of to get Married. The starting points or the reasoning of sending the Girl away to marry differ from culture to Culture but in all culture, the common denominator is Money or shell we say - the Lack of Money.

 

I really suggest that if you have some dignity within you, some compassion and care for human kind, do some research of your own to understand the root/source/core of the problem and why/how it has direct relationship with Money. If you do so, you would be able to understand the Solutions and within that, what needs to be done to stop not only Child Marriage but many other issues that daily occurring around the world.

 

So, I will give you a moment to go through the Material while tomorrow, we will walk through together the Practical Solutions and the Rewards on the Individual and Collective Levels.
