Non-western traditional practices often fail to fit precisely within the framing categories of contemporary international human rights law. Consequently, an appropriate analysis of these practices necessitates the application of multiple lenses and attentiveness to their overlapping and integrated nature. The practice of trokosi, a form of ritual servitude found in parts of West Africa, provides a case study for examining how multiple paradigms-- including slavery, forced marriage, domestic violence, and religious tolerance--are inadequate when applied in isolation. It is only through a multi-perspectival analysis that one can begin to engage such practices and tailor a strategy for addressing those that do not fit neatly within the framing categories of international human rights law.
