Answer 1

I watched a really sad documentary on the girls of Ethiopia. They start working these little girls as young as 2 years old. Making them carry clay water pots. By the time they are 7 or 8, they are carrying an enormous amount of weight. This coupled with poor nutrition, their bodies are under developed.

In the case of these girls, their family then marries them off at 13 and they get pregnant. Child birth for many of them lasts for over a week because the birth canal is so tiny. The babies die and the girls develop a thing called Fistula. During the hard labor, the bowel and r****m tears whereby leaking.

The Chinese work the little girls hard. As young as 3 they start their training.
