‘My journey to accept being a childless woman’ in Niger

It is estimated that around 50 million couples worldwide experience infertility issues.

In many cultures women are held responsible when a couple experiences difficulties to conceive. This social pressure can often lead to women being shunned, their husbands taking additional wives or even result in divorce.

Childless women, often seen as a burden, are stigmatised and often face discrimination.

She interviews members of her family, friends and several midwives trying to determine her role in the society as a childless woman.
