True stories of God's love and faithfulness for the broken and abused. A couple of years ago I was shocked to find out that little virgin girls, under the age of nine, are given to fetish priests to serve horrific lives as slaves, to atone for the crimes or sins of another family member. They are beaten, raped, starved and overworked. No affection or kindness is allowed and they live with no hope of ever being freed, as they are isolated from anyone who offers help. Ruled by forces that control them, they live in fear. The stories in this book are told by trokosis who have been liberated through the help of International Needs, and liberated from their fear and suffering by their new found love and faith in Jesus. Linda M. Gillard is the author of Trokosi-Slave of the gods. The author recently traveled to West Africa to gather information on the ancient practice of trokosi, and to interview liberated slaves who now live as free women. It was an unforgettable experience for the author and needed to be told. The culture of enslaving little girls is shrouded in secrecy and is still carried on today. It is estimated that over 30,000 women and children are still enslaved in West Africa.

A song has this phrase: " Love is flowing like a river flowing out from you and me spreading out into the desert, setting all the captives free. Yes, the captives are those who don't know who they are, those who don't know they are God's children." Peace Pilgrim 25,000 miles on foot for peace. This book is about modernizing and eliminating a ritual servitude and dehumanizing practice known as "TROKOSI." The Trokosi system is one of the most ancient practices still found among Ewes in Ghana, Togo and Dahomey in West Africa. Shrouded in mystery, its origin can be traced to the practice of paying deities for services rendered. A trokosi, is a vestal virgin, yet to experience menarche, and who is given to a deity to atone for sins or offences committed by a relative. Some citizens of the world live in subjection to others and most of them would work their entire lives to repay a debt the y never personally incurred. This book is educating the practitioners and communities on the human rights abuses of the victims and mobilizing the regional and international community on the eradicating of the practice, raise support to invest and empower the priest and communities to embrace an economic industry as an alternative income. This book also congratulate Barrack Obama, the first African-American President first ever visit to Ghana on the 11th July, 2009 with the slogan, "YES WE CAN."

If a girl runs away or dies; she must be replaced by another girl from within the same family. Some girls in ritual servitude are the third or fourth female in their family suffering for the same crime, sometimes for something as minor as the loss of a trivial property. In spite of being outlawed in 1998, which carries a minimum three-year prison sentence, Trokosi is still practiced today in the Volta region in Ghana. Beside the Ewes that carry out the ritual, Togo and Benin also indulge the vile practice, where it is called voodoosi or vudusi. In Ghana, the setting of this account, victims are commonly known as fetish slaves, because, the gods of African Traditional Religion are popularly referred to as fetishes and the priests who serve them as fetish priests.

The first mention of the word "Trokosi can be traced to the work of A. B. Ellis in 1890 writing on the topic of "Priesthood" in "The Ewe Speaking People of the Gold Coast." As far back as the early 1900s a protest letter was submitted by a native of the Gold Coast to the Colonial Secretary of Native Affairs calling for an end to a practice that marginalized, dehumanized and treated young virgins as slaves "consecrated" to the gods. Unfortunately in 2009 the fight still continues. The authors bring light to an issue greatly in need of critical scrutiny. This book poignantly elucidates firsthand accounts of the voices of the Trokosi victims, the geographical spread of the practice, interrogates the social context in which the practice thrives, traces the travailing journeys of the victims, discusses the liberation efforts and rehabilitation programs, examines the role of civil society in confronting the system and closes with the tensions within the discourses that support or reject the Trokosi system.

This book explores the kinds of Christian service or diaconia that develop in non-institutionalized practices for supporting survivors of indigenous ritual servitude or Trokosi in Africa. Drawing on empirical research from Ghana, it examines the possibilities of freedom, equality, and dignity for liberated Trokosi and the manner in which these women’s experiences constitute a repudiation of dominant patriarchal family systems. With close attention to the work of indigenous parachurches – which function outside of institutionalized churches – in challenging the contemporary practice of ritual slavery and offering its survivors a lived space in which they need not remain “hidden” as they seek restoration and integration into wider society, Ritual Servitudes and Christian Social Practices in Ghana will appeal to scholars of sociology, theology, and religion with interests in gender, contemporary ministries and African religion.
