The CNN Freedom Project recently published a video of a brave young girl named Ramatoulie, who used her voice to stand up against early marriage — including the prospect of her own — and has now become a confident teenager. Ramatoulie and many others received information and support through The Gambia’s PROTECT Project, a two-year program funded by the U.S. State Department. It was started to develop a viable national child protection system with a special focus on limiting child-trafficking on local and national levels.
