Bogdana Găgeanu: Against Their Will (for Woman Scream Festival)

So many marriages against their will

Because that's tradition, they say.

What about the fact that their traditions

Disobey children's rights ?

The young girls are sold to some strangers

They barely know and meet

In order to get married.

All their parents care is fortune and status

Not about their happiness .

Their relatives are behaving like merchants

That exchange objects at different prices.

The lack of humanity is taken too far away

Treating children as slaves and not as fruits of love.

Don't you hear the scream of innocence

In this cage of aggresive tradition?
