The Malawi teen fighting sex initiation customs

Nineteen-year-old Memory Banda is a gender rights activist who fights against the age-old custom in Malawi of sending girls to so-called "initiation camps" after they start their first period.

The camps aim is to teach girls their "duties as wives" and how to please a man sexually.

This is part a regular series on African Women You Need to Know.
