They may still be in middle school, but two Kirkland eighth graders are already getting global recognition for their crucial work.
KIRO 7 News StaffKIRKLAND — They may still be in middle school, but two Kirkland eighth graders are already getting global recognition for their work as amateur filmmakers bringing awareness to child marriage.
It’s not a topic they initially sought out. Rather, they came across during research for a class project about population growth. “I was staying up really late, and my parents were knocking on my door and being like, ‘you need to go to sleep,’” Eva recalled. “But I just wanted to draw.” “I can’t assume that every child marriage is controlling and unhealthy,” she continued. “But I can say that once you marry a child off to an adult, especially in low income countries -- where girls are more often seen as property or objects, there’s definitely a large power gap.”
