Yesterday, Friday 11th October 2013 was the International Day of the Girl Child around the world. The Nollywood actress turned activist, Stella Damasus released an emotional video for #ChildNotBride. Her words in the video are touching but many people claimed she was acting. She says:
“My heart still bleeds for the millions of girls all over the world who still do not have a voice to speak. They are still given away in marriage even at age 9, no education, no social relevance, no hope for a promising future. I do pray that you will lend your voice and save a child today.”
