Imagine an African village where a 14-year old girl stands proudly to advocate for human rights. Where she is safe from violence. Where she can go to school and become a woman before becoming a wife. Where she and her parents join a community-wide movement for health, democracy, and peace. Where together they are transforming the social and family networks that will shape her future. Good. Now imagine a few thousand more. Momentum is building across West Africa for a brighter future for girls and their communities. Tens of thousands of girls are now able to dream of a life free from violence and strive towards a future filled with knowledge, choice, and opportunity. Thousands of communities are making human dignity a reality. The next few years present a rare opportunity to transform the lives of 1.6 million people.
