And this documentary. It is heavy. But I’m tired of people avoiding heavy, avoiding difficulty.
It isn’t about feeling helpless. It is about seeing differently. Changing your world. Changing your eyes.
What I couldn’t shake:
Men from all over the world (a large percentage fr the U.S.) come to these tiny villages to rape 6 year old girls. Some, even younger. Many of the girls’ parents fundamentally believe this to be normal. The fathers bask in that blood money by gambling, smoking and drinking.
Up to 96% of women in prostitution want to escape but feel they can’t. (United Labor Organization)
It isn’t about poverty. It is about the mindsets of nations.
It is about hope even when evil’s laughter drowns you out.
I refuse to be desensitized.
This carves, calls and quiets identities.
