The New York Times recently published an article about the growing interest in ending the practice and the article was a cover story and photo. Change is happening to increase women's rights!

Here is a Fact Sheet from the Alan Guttmacher Institute (AGI).

Thanks for an engaging discussion you all! I did drive home with a smile on my face that you are talking and listening and best of all we are all learning!
