About the rite

Among Krobo communities in Ghana, girls take part in Dipo under the guidance of older women. They return to public view in ceremonial adornment and are welcomed as young women.

The rite varies between communities. Research published in 2026 describes how it has endured and changed amid debates about education, health, consent and rights.
