Since we aim for a healthy life for all, we should teach young girls that their worth can't be validated by dating older rich men, because that is risky for their health. Until we change certain perceptions in society, we will keep fighting the same battles.

About This Quote

The world has a lot of problems, but the biggest one is the fact that there are too many people who think that the only way they can be healthy is by getting married to older rich men. They also think that getting married will solve all their problems, and since they’re so desperate for love, they do not hesitate to go after those older rich men. They would rather be an object of lust than someone's partner.
