Binta’s Dilemma

E2A has released three films that were used as part of a comprehensive approach to behavior change implemented by the project’s University Leadership for Change initiative. The films demonstrate how narrative can be used in an effort to change sexual and reproductive health behaviors by sparking reflection, dialogue, and action.

The narrative in the first film, Binta’s Dilemma, presents how university students in Niger confront culturally controversial topics, including contraception, unintended pregnancy, and the societal pressures on young women to bear children once they are married. It is meant to help young people, especially students, reflect on and react to these topics.

This film is in French with English subtitles.
