Girls Not Brides: A Harsh Reality for Girls Around the World


by Harpinder Kaur

There are many complications women face all around the world today.  Many countries still haven’t granted women the rights they deserve, in some cases the conditions are worse than expected. 

According to the documentary by Dir. Al Jazeera, the viewer is exposed to an unusual reality; child marriages in Bangladesh.“In Bangladesh; a third world country many women are given no value and are known for getting married very early on.  In the documentary we meet Beezly Roy, a thirteen-year-old schoolgirl determined to become a doctor.  However, plans change when Beezly comes home from school and wedding preparations have started.  Beezly was married at the age of thirteen to a twenty-five-year-old; her dreams of becoming a doctor, shattered.”( Dir. Al Jazeera).
