UNICEF Celebrates Child Brides

UNICEF - The United Nations Children's Fund, claims it is "a broad coalition dedicated to improving the life of every child" and "the driving force that helps build a world where the rights of every child are realized." Apparently that doesn't include the right of an 11-year-old child not to be raped by a Muslim man.

Yet they are more than happy to celebrate as 'Photo of the Year' this obscenity:

The photograph shot by U.S. freelance photographer Stephanie Sinclair shows a wedding couple in Afghanistan who could not be more opposite. The groom, Mohammed, looks much older than his 40 years. The bride, Ghulam, is still a child; she just turned 11. Stephanie Sinclair works as a freelance photographer based in Beirut, Lebanon. (AP Photo/Markus Schreiber)

What better way to care for the well-being of children than by celebrating the forced marriage of an 11-year-old girl to a man over 30 years her senior, right?
