My Diary

This is a story of a girl called Dene who grew up in a poor family in Ndjamena, the capital city of Chad. Growing up was hard for her because she saw how her father maltreated her mother and also other women and girls being marginalized and subjected to violence of all forms. She thought it is normal because that is what is being passed from generation to generation. It’s called men’s world. Women are treated like thing with low value. They call us Mara Sakite. In local Arabic, it means a simple woman. Our destinies are in our men’s hands. They adjust and fascinate it to their desires. But later she realizes that this is unfair toward women and decides to share it by writing in her dairy.
