The humanitarian organization Save the Children recently released The Global Girlhood Report 2021 , which details the devastating effects of COVID-19 lockdowns on women’s rights, particularly the dramatic increase in child marriages and associated pregnancy deaths during the pandemic. Hitting Girls Hardest

According to the report, 22,000 underage girls die of pregnancy after marriage per year globally. That amounts to 60 girls every day. They expect the problems from lockdowns to continue: “A further 10 million girls are now expected to marry by 2030, leaving more girls at risk of dying.”
The report also details that the economic downturn caused by the lockdowns disproportionally hit the poorest hardest, especially girls. More girls than boys are being held back from going to school to help the family with chores and child labor at home for survival. “On average, girls in poorer countries missed 22% more days in school than boys.”
More girls than boys are expected to never return to school. In Kenya, when the schools reopened, 16% of the girls did not return compared to 8% of the boys. Similar numbers are seen across many developing countries. Mental Health
Save the Children also warns that the severe isolation of children and lack of education is causing mental health problems and risk of self-harm. Marie Dahl, Head of Save the Children’s Mental Health & Psychosocial Support Unit, said that “Children living in poverty or already in disadvantaged or otherwise vulnerable situations are at greater risk of the damaging consequences of long-lasting lockdowns.”
A survey of 13,000 children in 46 countries showed that 83% reported negative feelings due to the pandemic. That number increased to 96% when schools were closed for 17 to 19 weeks. Corroboration

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
