What is UN & UNICEF saying about this kInd of life style in Kenya????


Imagine how Young women  were dragged away from their village for a dowry of 20 goats and three camels in Kenay!..is this what marriage look like???....
Left to me,I'd say this lifestyle by some of the African countries should be vehemently opposed by either UN or UNICEF with immediate effect!..because they're destroying the reputation of what marriage is supposed to be like and the future of some of these innocent young girls in Africa
...funny enough this thing has being going on for more than several decades now,particularly in the African world but nothing is done about it..and  icon360media is not happy about it...thus asking the respected authorities to please take a control measure in putting this to a stop!
Struggle: A girl from the Pokot tribe in Kenya tries to escape after being sold as a bride by her parents in return for a dowry of livestock

According to what Kenyans are saying,This is the moment that girls, some as young as 14, are traded by their families for livestock as part of a traditional ceremony in rural Kenya which marks their passing into womanhood. 
Tradition: The girls are isolated from the village for a month before the ritual takes place meaning many are unaware they have been sold off

While this stuff is annoying is that,Before the ritual takes place the girls are isolated for more than a month, meaning many are not aware they have been bargained away until their new husbands come to collect them. 
Harsh: One family said they had deliberately kept the arranged marriage from their daughter for fear she would run away if she found out
Another part of the ceremony sees the women beat a cow into submission before the men kill it with a single stab wound to the heart all in the name of tradition that designs a holocaust future for our beautiful young girls who are supposed to be futrure leaders,Bankers,activist to save the nation
Desperate: Life is a constant struggle for the women of the Pokot tribe as the people are also known to practice female genital mutilation
All Icon360 entertainment is saying is,let this tradition be examined and corrected so that our girls wont continue in pains like this which has led so many to untimely grave because some of these girls dies during pregnancy and all of that...
The truth is,I have  respect for cultural relativeness and the beauty in diversity, but when it gets beyond perceived and acceptable levels of civility and humanity respectively, it then is absolute cruelty and abuse!
