On and off screen, a successfull western African TV show « C’est La Vie’s », is committed to ending against violence against women. Call-in radios serve as a relay to the show, most of the actresses have become ambassadors to women empowerment and whenever they are done filming they try to raise awareness around them! Could they also change the law?
 
 

“C’est La Vie” is probably the biggest televised success in recent years in Western Africa.
In Senegal – like in a large part of Western Africa, traditional practices of mutilation are still perpetuated.  The youth do not receive any sexual education and unwanted pregnancies are still frequent. Abortion is prohibited most of the time. 
This TV series addresses African society’s taboos – aiming to make attitudes shift and hopefully one day laws too…
