Benin: Daughters Given to Convents - RT Documentary

Ilone from #Benin spent several years in a #voodoo convent because her parents gave her up. She never went to school and learnt #mystical rituals. It’s a common story in the country, but why? Find out from our documentary, ‘Voodoo Brides’ (2022). We’re sharing the story on December 10, which is a national holiday in Benin. On this day in 1996, Voodoo was formally recognised as the nation’s official #religion. #HumanStories@rt__documentary
