This is just such an awful story.

Is there anything at all we can do to support this woman, and others like her?

This vicious, worldwide hatred of women makes me so despondent sometimes.

“Her stepfather is yet to be charged.”

And yet they managed to charge her and send her to jail within a week of giving birth.

“Her stepfather is yet to be charged.”

For rape or abusing her since she was 12.

I suppose this is one of the many reasons that people go to such lengths to flee El Salvador.
