Sorry to chime in, but one of my best friends had it. His life expectancy was 19. He did intense physical therapy and lived to 28. He gave all the credit to the amount of work he put in to physical therapy.

There was a TIL about it today on Reddit. People said that they kill the mom and torture the baby until is submits to the person. They stab it and beat it. Absolutely horrific stories by people who claimed they’ve seen it first hand.

Traumatizing.

Do you find it often difficult to explain to people from more gender equal cultures the importance of promoting young girls?

I work at a large company and we once had a discussion on the work were doing for girls in Africa. One person in the audience asked what we were doing for boys, as she had young sons and worried about boys being left behind. Many people agreed. I nearly fell out of my seat at her ignorance of gender inequality in many parts around the world. I wondered how the speaker had the patience to answer with anything other than "your question makes no sense". Do you find many people to be this ignorant or do you generally face understanding and support?
