The R”Y advising NASI are well aware of what you mentioned and frankly there is no choice. The world is still sleeping. when the desperation of these girls and their families is focused outward instead of inward the necessary changes will happen.
Additionally the girls were trying to get married asap before NASI came around. They aren’t dumb they know how many of their relatives and friends are older and single with little hope. The awareness has broken the stigma and created new opportunities for the slightly older girls. See Bodek’s comment. What she meant was is that she is getting yesses she never would have gotten 5 years ago. Get with the program there aren’t to many 27 year old boys around (in yeshiva circles for sure.) In addition the awareness has started the ball rolling towards structural change that will solve the problem long term and short term.
Sad that these changes are looooong in coming and many girls will be lost because the changes that WILL happen will happen to late for them…
