Collections

Dame Yabo is a widow from Benin Republic. After her husband's death, her already difficult life was challenged by the age-old tradition of levirate marriage. Refusing to enter a marriage with another family member who already had two wives, Yabo defied societal norms. Today, stripped of her husband's fortune, Yabo lives for herself and her three kids. Watch the documentary to explore the cultural complexities of levirate marriage. Is it possible to make a case for violation of human rights when there is no complaint, uprising, or collective protest against an ancestral practice deeply rooted in societal customs?
