Sexual abuse takes on many different dimensions.  Outside of the developed world it often takes forms that are so common that they actually shape many cultural aspects of developing countries.  These girls need your help too.  One thing that parents of sexually abused children eventually have to come to grips with is that they often can’t help their own children as much as they would like.  They can make difference in the lives of others though.

Child Marriage

Child marriage is considered by many to be legal child abuse and legal sexual assault.  Many states allows girls as young as 13 to be married with their parents permission.  In the case of many religious groups this is also without the consent of the girl.  Many times these are cases of payments to families to cover up rapes or similar situations.
