The story provides a look at sex trafficking in Nepal and India. The graphic nature is inappropriate for children, pre-teens, and teens under the age of 18. There are descriptions of the ongoing rape/violation and physical abuse suffered by the girls is emotionally disturbing and traumatic for many younger teens. Additionally, there is a suicide and discussions of mothers purposely inducing miscarriages.

DISCLAIMER

The Pavement Education Project was formed in response to sexually related books and instructional materials in public schools that are emotionally, mentally, and physically harmful to children, as evidenced by rising rates of depression and other psychological disorders. The content of said materials ranges from explicit to inexplicit sexual activities including but not limited to rape, incest, and hook up dating. 

 

We support lawful efforts to expose the obscene books and materials currently available and used in North Carolina public schools. Our goal is to alert parents to the sexual content and potential harm to their children; in the process we aim to avoid exposing children to obscene content or to breaking any laws.  We demonstrate near school properties but do not go onto school grounds. We support the efforts of other groups advocating for change in the policy and integration of appropriate books for minors. We also support efforts to strengthen the security at all schools.  We do not support trespassing, distributing materials with sexual content, or confrontation with parents or school staff.
