Fatima Soumana, child protection director for Tera District. Fatima trained as a teacher but her passion lies in social justice. Her nickname is 'Mother of the voiceless' and she works tirelessly to prevent child marriages in West Niger. Fatima recently saved a girl of seven years old who was sold off as her family could no longer afford to feed her due to the worsening food crisis. Photograph by Mike Goldwater
