the fate of Marianne, a Senegalese high school student

In the universe of the “Draughts Games” series, we continue with episodes 41 and 42 of the first season. The story follows Marianne, a young high school student who stands out in a deeply Senegalese context. Coming from a modest family, she is admired for her strong faith and her beauty. Her dream is to become a computer scientist, an ambition she has to improve the conditions of her family.

Despite her discretion and modesty, Marianne does not go unnoticed. Her face, partially veiled by her hijab, attracts attention. This attention is not always welcome, and she becomes the target of harassment. To protect her, her father considers all solutions, including that of a possible arranged marriage, weighing on her young life.

This poignant story, found on the Kawtef website, illustrates the challenges Marianne faces, including social pressure and the difficult choices her family faces to ensure a better future for her.
