Republic of Congo: Widows Demand Their Rights · Global Voices

minguabiango [fr] writes on congo-liberty about the cruel treatments and deprivation of their rights suffered by some widows in the Republic of Congo:  “In Congo-Brazzaville, some widows are daring to prosecute their in‑laws and obtain compensation, sometimes with help from NGOs.  They set a good example for all those women who lack information about their rights or who fear reprisals and consequently suffer in silence.”
