Forced into marriage at age 13

Documentary about a young woman seeking reunion with her father/paternal family due to challenges she has undergone in the maternal family since early childhood.
Nancy seeks reunion with her father/paternal family after going through untold suffering in the hands of a maternal uncle. Nancy’s mother handed her over to her brother in Lira to continue schooling from town. However she ended up having only one term of primary three and being forced into marriage at about the age of 13, before she could experience her first menstruation. Nancy was remarried after the first marriage failed and in both marriages; she had challenges with no one willing to follow her up despite knowing that she was suffering. The maternal uncle/family was always more interested in receiving bride price and not her welfare in marriage. Her own mother has completely denied her knowledge of her father/paternal family. This is precisely the reason Nancy walked in to the Centre for Women and Children’s Reintegration (CEWOCHR) for help in tracing her roots and re-unite her with her father/paternal family. Nancy doesn’t care if her father is still alive or dead but she somehow knows that she has her people somewhere. CEWOCHR has invited Nancy’s mother to seek information about Nancy’s father and origin. CEWOCHR has also visited her maternal relatives and with only one other maternal uncle on CEWOCHR and Nancy’s side, there is hope of reuniting Nancy with father/paternal family.
