Facebook Under Fire For Allegedly Aiding "Child Trafficking" by flimzy24: 10:18pm On Nov 21, 2018 |
South Sudan A South Sudanese 17-year-old girl, has allegedly been "trafficked" out for five hundred cows, two luxury cars, $10,000, two bikes, a boat and a few cell phones to the highest bidder, with the state’s deputy governor, as one of the top bidders. The highest bidder was a man with eight wives, and three times older than the 17-year-old girl. A human rights lawyer, Philips Anyang Ngong, who tried to stop the bidding on Facebook where the auction was discussed said, “this is the biggest test of child abuse, trafficking and auctioning of a human being.” “She has been reduced to a mere commodity and everyone involved should be held accountable." Dr. Mary Otieno, Described the act as illegal and a threat to girls' lives adding that South Sudan has a long history of child marriage. Even though that practice is now illegal, 40 percent of girls still marry before age 18, according to the United Nations Population Fund. The practice “threatens girls’ lives” and limits prospects for their future. Condemning Facebook for its alleged failure to take down the post, the country’s director for Plan International, George Otim, said, “This barbaric use of technology is reminiscent of latter-day slave markets. That a girl could be sold for marriage on the world’s biggest social networking site in this day and age is beyond belief." John Mading, South Sudan’s anti-human trafficking chief described the act as a crystal clear case of human trafficking. “It is clear that some human trafficking practices are hidden in our culture,” adding that most girls are forced or tricked into marriage after being told they are going to live with relatives and go to school. Furthermore, the National Alliance for Women Lawyers in South Sudan urged the government, local lawmakers and activists to comply with the plan to end child marriage by 2030. However, this is the largest dowry ever paid in the civil war-torn country. get your STUN GUNS, PEPPER SPRAYS and other SECURITY GADGETS.
