God dammit. That poor baby. I just wish we were better.

Is "we" the majority of people around the globe? Because most people around the globe wouldnt do this id wager.

They'd beat her mercilessly and then sell her off have an arranged marriage by 10 where shed continue to be beaten for most of her life.

But they probably wouldnt kill a 3 year old.

Developing Middle Eastern, Asian or African countries aren’t doing stuff like this in urban areas. The backwards religious attitudes are more prevalent in rural regions

Same goes for most of the world, I think.

Child marriage is fairly ok with American GOP esque folks, so I get what youre saying.

No, they do, human trafficking is especially bad in wealthy middle Eastern countries where indentured servants are regularly abused, raped, killed.

India in particular is having a huge increases in violence against women that doubled over the last decade, that not specific to rural areas at all.

What about all that shit that was and it's happening to Iranian women and girls, getting brutally raped and killed by the police.

Pretty common actually.

Most people are religious still, and religion is certainly a slippery slope, so yes.
