How does tradition in West Africa affect women's rights?

Discrimination and violence against women.

Explanation:

There are laws to protect the rights of women in certain parts of Africa; however, there is still discrimination and violence against women in Africa. The existing laws that supposedly protect women's rights are often not implemented or enforced in the African communities because historical creation of patriarchal systems are still practiced to this day. Based on the aforementioned, we can discern that African traditions and women's rights contradict one another.
