'the national government is pandering to those who adhere to a narrow and restrictive view of Islam, which mostly targets women. “It’s as if women for them are the biggest problem in Islam,”'

We were shocked to learn that this is at all legal in the US! We don't know why judges are even allowed to permit this, and what reasoning these judges would have for doing so.

"...state laws typically do not call for anyone to investigate whether a child is marrying willingly. Even in the case of a girl’s sobbing openly while her parents sign the application and force her into marriage, the clerk usually has no authority to intervene. In fact, in most states there are no laws that specifically forbid forced marriage."

"Shockingly, 91 percent of the children were married to adults, often at ages or with age differences that could have triggered statutory-r**e charges, not a marriage license. A judge in 2006 approved the marriage of a 10-year-old boy to an 18-year-old woman. A judge in 1996 allowed a 12-year-old girl to marry a 25-year-old man."

R**e is a serious issue. How do you prevent it? DAKILA has some suggestions.

An old r**e prevention posted by the PNP is making the rounds again and is causing a bit of sensation. A lot of people are calling it outdated (it is, it was published last September, that’s like a decade in Facebook years), s*xist (tips lang para kay Ate, wala para kay Kuya?) and hard to read.

So we decided to give the PNP a helping hand by sharing with them an updated poster that's also easier to remember. We did this mainly because the poster is outdated and s*xist. We need something that is easier to follow and does not put the blame on women.

What other r**e tips do you think we should add? Let us know by putting in your comments!

Adults must provide a safe environment for to talk about *x and *xuality. Here's a lesson or two on how to do that from high school teacher Al Vernacchio (*xed).

More often than not, adults make children feel there's no safe environment for them to talk about s*x that's why they don't ask or confide in them. And our youngsters will just be more confused and disoriented as ever.
