#SOS Colombia

"Colombia’s congress has voted to change a law that allowed minors to get married with parental consent.

The proposal would make the minimum age for marriage 18, and seeks to protect the rights and development opportunities for minors. It still must be signed into law by President Gustavo Petro.

Currently, the country’s civil code allows person as young as 14 years old to get married with parental consent.

The initial proposal to reform the law – presented in 2023 – used the slogan “they’re girls, not wives” and aimed to prevent young girls from being forced to marry, to be subject to different forms of violence and to miss out on education and development opportunities.

“Minors are not sexual objects, they’re girls,” congresswoman Clara López Obregón said in a statement after the proposal was greenlit.

Child marriage remains a widespread practice worldwide and affects around 12 million girls per year, according to the UN’s agency for children, UNICEF.

But there’s been a global drop in child marriages over the past few years, according to the agency’s statistics. “Ten years ago, one in four young women aged 20 to 24 was married as a child. Today that number has fallen to one in five,” UNICEF said.

In Latin America, poverty is the main factor leading to minors getting married, according to UNICEF."

are we not going to talk about the fact that the Canada Women's Football Team team CHEATED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS and all the got was a -6 point deducción while still allowed to compete? we should be looking at a disqualification and a ban. yet the players are going around playing the victims instead of admiting they had unfair advantage over their rivals.

had this been done by a team with less monetary resources we would be looking at a several years ban. but well, this sport is not fair. enjoy the victory cheaters

cool fun fact for sunday

East Asia and South of South America are Antipodes meaning that they are in completely opposite points on the globe.

This means that when Acau joins we will have ccs in oppolise places playing together. People who physically could not be further away from each other.

The ones in buenos aires would be the furthest but i doubt Carre will play so I think cellbit or bagi are next. (idk where exactly they live but I'm pretty sure they come from the south of brazil)

Here is a map of the world showing antipodes. The areas in orange are perfectly opposite to each other.

my country is on fire. there are currently 21 active wildfires in Colombia due to a weather phenomenon known as 'El Niño', which brings high temperatures and droughts to our land. our mountains and wetlands are suffering, and the wildlife and plants are getting a lot of damage. the frailejón, one of our most important Andean wetland plants has lost a big portion of its population over the fires. these are plants that take several years to recover. the air quality has declined so much that a lot of workplaces, schools and universities have decided to send everyone home to work/study remotely tomorrow.

i'm not equipped to tell you all if there is anything that you could do to help, except maybe share information on social media and pray for this climate crisis to go away as soon as possible. if you happen to live in Colombia i assume you've heard about this, since it's the primary news this week, but if you don't know how to help they're advising us to help our wildlife by leaving water out for the fauna that finds its way to the city, and calling authorities if you spot an injured animal.

i saw one of the fires today, on the mountain behind my college. by the time i was leaving campus half the sky was covered in smoke. we all just stood and watched the flames from below, hoping they'd end soon. climate change and global warming is real, guys. it's something we should be loud about, to advocate for our environment, even if we can't solve it on our own.
