Not only does it prevent them from moving forward, but it also prevents their children from doing so. This is really a paramount concern, and we need to tackle it at its core, because those who are now young girls—that could even include young girls who were born here—cannot fly on their own, for all the reasons you just mentioned. They have seen a lot and they are stuck in their situations because, unlike girls from here, they are restricted by their families. That is the difference. In cases where girls are restricted to their homes, we absolutely have to take stronger action. Violence is always at the root, violence in all forms, for that matter.
