How do you feel that religion has played a role in the mistreatment of these children? How do you plan to combat the ignorance of the adults using superstition to abuse a child? Do you feel superstition and religion go hand and hand?

Religion and poverty have the same effects here in the US. Thank you for educating the public on science, from another comment, and for giving a human being another chance. You're one of the good ones.

The justice system needs fixing too, lol. Basically everything that is happening there, likely happens here on some level. Religion is granted the authority over a person's body, gential mutilation, child marriages, etc...and because it's protected people use it as a loophole around many laws.

Not true. All of the above atrocious are currently legal due to religious exemptions. You can cut off your daughters clit, or marry her off to a grown man at a young age, or rape her and force her to have that baby. All in the name of religion.
