Lucia Poni, 23, hoped to finish school but she was married in exchange for 10 cows. “In many communities here in one of the world’s poorest nations, daughters grow up with a single purpose: to be sold into marriage for cows to expand a family’s herd — the closest thing most people have to a bank account — and to buy wives for her brothers.” Honored to have worked with @rrrobynnn on this incredibly important story in South Sudan for the @latimes.
