Girls Not Brides | Support Saturday

Hello Everyone! So I came across this petition and decided to look more into it. The petition's goal is to raise awareness against child marriage.

Not to mention pregnancy which comes with terrible risks that put the lives of the mother and the baby in jeopardy. So I hope you all decide to sign this petition! It is super easy and there is also an option to donate. Thank you all for reading.

I'm not here to impress anyone with superficiality. I do not wish to contribute to a never ending cycle of hate and drama in society... especially, on the internet. I've had so many people tell me to create a ''brand'' for myself, (I have nothing against those who do) ,but that's not me. I'm s
