Women Empowered – akossiwa

Akosiwa, 12
Massida, Togo

When Akosiwa was 3, her father sold her to a distant cousin who promised to give her an education, clothes, and shoes. Instead, she worked in servitude 12 hours a day and went to bed hungry every night. Eight years later, she returned to her family and enrolled in a CARE program to educate girls that have been trafficked. She is the only 12 year old in a classroom full of children half her age. “I love all my subjects,” she says. “I get the highest marks in the class, but it’s not because I am older; it’s because I study the hardest.”
