⚠️ Harmful practices hurting children in Africa. Black with Sugar podcast 15

⚠️ Harmful practices hurting children in Africa. 

Once again, in this week's episode, Nadia and Keziah raise the issue of harmful cultural practices in Africa. Preciously protected and carried on by the elders, gatekeepers of culture and oral traditions, these traditional practices affect mostly vulnerable children and broadly abuse and violate their human rights.

 From the shocking revelation of “Hyenas“ in Malawi. Which are men paid to rape young girls as part of a rite of passage, to the “ironing“ of the breasts of young school girls in Cameroon to keep them from unwanted sexual advances… The “witch children” of Nigeria abandoned and rejected under the pretense of being evil. Or the “curse twins” in the Antambahoaka tribe of Madagascar, rejected at birth, victims of a tradition that no one fully grasps.

 💔 It’s a heartbreaking podcast, difficult to watch with a subject that will appall you. But it is a necessary conversation and an outrageous reality the African continent and community must face and tackle. 👉🏿 Only the African community truly hold the keys for cultural, social and political change by prioritizing and protecting its youth 🚸.
