COME, I’LL SHOW YOU

ILLEGAL TRADITIONS

F.A. lives happily with her husband, their little son Abass and her brother-in-law Amidu. The latter drives his brother’s taxi and thus contributes to the family income. When F.A.’s husband dies unexpectedly, she is devastated.
&nbsp
After a period of deep sorrow, F.A. finds out that her brother-in-law no longer passes on the income from the taxi rides. Also, her son’s school fees are no longer paid. F.A. confronts her brother-in-law Amidu. But he claims that he inherited everything from his brother because he is the man in the house. That’s the tradition. So he doesn’t have to give away any money. F.A. disagrees. Legally she is the sole heir. She begins to fight for her rights and for her son’s education.

COME, I’LL SHOW YOU THE COUNTRY OF ORIGIN

SIERRA LEONE

Sierra Leone (officially the Republic of Sierra Leone) borders Guinea in the north and Liberia in the southeast. Freetown is the country’s capital and economic centre. English is the official language of this former British colony, but most people speak Krio.

Over a thousand schools were destroyed during the civil war that lasted from 1991 to 2002. Following the Ebola epidemic (2014-2016), the country is now working to rebuild state and social infrastructure. Both Sierra Leone’s constitution and the 2004 Education Act mandate nine years of compulsory basic education, but full compliance is not possible due to a lack of schools and teachers. The literacy rate of the adult population in 2015 was 48.1% (women: 37.7%, men: 58.7%).

Sierra Leone has a great variety of media. After a long debate, 2013 saw the passing of a freedom of information law. Sierra Leone ranked 85th out of 180 countries on the 2020 World Press Freedom Index, published by Reporters without Borders.
