Poor families in Benin subscribe to Vidomegon, a common social practice that places children of the poor with wealthier families. The child exchanges labour for food and lodging. Beninese girls are much more vulnerable to slavery, because of economic, cultural, and social factors, than boys. Traditionally, the practice allows a poor family to live with a wealthy family, providing labour in exchange for food, lodging and, sometimes, education. Unfortunately the reality of the placements is often grim as the practice is now being used, often by the child’s parents, to exploit children for financial gains.
