EQUO

EQUO, a naive and arrogant princess, lives through the cultural practice of early marriage and female genital mutilation in her community. Her revered nature becomes her strength as she stoops against all traditional norms and beliefs. In her quest to succeed, she finds solitude in her school teacher “copa” ABIGIRL and her favorite relative AUNTY ADIA, who grooms and inspires her to acquire a good educational and imbibe moral values.
Transformed, EQUO becomes an advocate in the fight against early marriage and female genital cutting as she engineers and facilitates other developmental reforms back home in her community.
