Radha, 15, observes herself in a cracked mirror the day before her wedding in the state of Rajasthan, India. Her 5-year-old cousin was married later that night, images of that wedding can be seen on the @tooyoungtowed website. Despite recent advances in the global effort to end child marriage, the practice of marrying girls off at young ages persists in more than 50 countries and spans many cultures and all major religions. National Geographic Magazine featured this village in its June 2011 story on child marriage. Too Young to Wed @tooyoungtowed, a nonprofit I founded not long after our story ran, is now raising funds through a week long sale of hand printed & signed photographic prints. 100% of all proceeds received will support @tooyoungtowed’s programming to help girls in areas where child marriage is rampant. MAKE CHANGE WITH US by purchasing a print before the fundraiser ends on Sept. 20th, visit: http://ift.tt/1EYvkXo.
