Togo response

I actually was surprised by this article because I expected something much sadder and worse. I’m not saying this isn’t sad because it is it’s just that I already knew stuff like this happened and I also know there are a lot worse things that happen to children in Africa. It’s also a lot worse for the girls who are beaten and sexually abused daily. In fact I’ve read stories about these types of things happening to slaves here during our civil war and, although it’s a lot less common now days it does still sometimes happen here still. I don’t know why this might be a particular problem in Togo because everything I know about Togo was in this article, but usually the way these things happen is because of poverty and prejudices, both just in families and throughout whole countries. I don’t think this would be anywhere near as big a problem if poverty and prejudices weren’t that big a problem. Of course both and these things would still exist, but these things would be rarer and unlikely to happen if there weren’t big problems with prejudices and poverty and if prejudice and poverty didn’t exist then I think this would barely exist too. The whole world has yet to find a solution for prejudice and poverty and I’m only 14, so I have no idea how to solve these things and like I said before if prejudice and poverty didn’t exist these things practically wouldn’t either.
