"The Accident of Geography"

"The Archbishop spoke poignantly about the “accident of geography,” insisting that we cannot let this accident determine the future of young girls, and pledging that he will devote the same commitment and energy to ending child marriage as he did to ending apartheid."(Vital Voices Global Partnership article)

In Burma woman, children, and girls are looked down upon or as Daw Aung San Suu Kyi says "women in Burma remain “second citizens.”" I think the Archbishop tutu is correct, this seeing of woman being second to men and not equal was an accident in the world that should have never occurred to begin with and now that its still in present day in Burma is even worse. Woman should not have to give themselves to a man to be married when she is still only a child and he is near his last days of living. I think child marriage should definitely end because girls need to be children not woman who marry and live a life without childhood and their teens years.
