Let us take a moment
With this whole controversy going on, I thought we can take a moment to do something positive.
Let us actually help the children. I gather links from different organizations that support children in need. I tried to collect only the ones that I couldn't find controversies. Please keep in mind I'm not perfect, so if you want to help I advise you to also look into the institutions so you can decide with a clear conscious if you want to support them.
Organizations:
"Girls Not Brides is a global partnership committed to ending child marriage (...) "

This last link it was actually send by a fellow IY fan. It contains multiple organizations. I'll admit I didn't look for any scandals in them, but I encourage you to look at it and research if you are interested in helping.

Please help if you can. It doesn't matter if it is donating, volunteering, sponsering a child or even just sharing this. Instead of using our energy against a fictional story, regardless if it is defending, condomming a ship or even being neutral, let us take a second to use this energy to make a difference.
If you don't trust the organizations I'm sharing, feel free to link one you trust.
I thank you for reading this and if I could reach at least one person, it was already worth it.
