The following testimony comes from a particpant in a Gender at Work-facilitated Action Learning Process:
"A young girl in East Africa dreamed of becoming a doctor. The day her father tried to marry her off, the girl ran to her teacher for help. “Teacher help! my father wants to marry me off. I don’t want to stop going to school!” she cried as the teacher opened the door. The teacher called a 24 hour legal service provider who responded immediately. The legal services, accompanied by police officers and the chief, together they went to the girl's home to talk to the father . . .
