Jenny Kleeman - MONSTERS: Uncovering the $500 CH*LD Brides in Afghanistan

Child marriage is not just history — it’s happening right now in Afghanistan. In this gripping conversation, investigative journalist Jenny Kleeman exposes the brutal reality of girls as young as eight being sold as brides for as little as $500. These aren’t isolated tragedies — they are part of an ongoing crisis that continues to devastate families and destroy lives under the shadow of poverty, patriarchy, and political collapse.

Jenny has been described as “a Louis Theroux channeling Margaret Atwood” — a fearless journalist who takes audiences to the darkest corners of society. Here she unpacks not only the harrowing stories from Afghanistan, but also the bigger question: what does it mean when a society puts a price tag on its children?

This isn’t just about tradition — it’s about economics, survival, and power. In Afghanistan, families driven to desperation are forced to sell their daughters into marriage just to buy food. Meanwhile, the world watches. Where are the international charities? Where are the billionaires? Where is the outrage?

Kleeman also challenges the philosophy of “effective altruism” championed by figures like Elon Musk and Bill Gates. If human life can be reduced to a calculation, who gets saved first? A starving child in Afghanistan — or a priceless painting in the West? The answers she reveals are as disturbing as they are thought-provoking.

In this interview, expect to learn:

Why child marriage in Afghanistan is still widespread and worsening.

How poverty, conflict, and politics make girls the first victims.

The shocking dollar value placed on children’s lives.

Why the global community continues to fail Afghan women and girls.

This isn’t just a story — it’s a wake-up call. Once you hear Jenny’s findings, you’ll never look at humanitarian crises the same way again.
