All woman no doubt...



In my view,an African woman is all that and more.Putting it more clearly,where i come from,there are many thi ngs to say about being a woman..for starters,education is still not really a right in some communities.Girls still get a myriad reasons to drop out of school-the housework after school is too much,pressure to get married off and the one that breaks my heart..stigma associated with menstrual flow.Believe me many girls do not attend school while on their menses,reason being they are dirty and they are girls.When you can ovulate you can procreate hence you have no business getting schooled.You are marriageable!get out of class.My point is how does anyone expect to empower women in my country when only the privileged get to school?Who will realistically hear these girls out?light them a torch and give them a shot at real life?guess only I can do it...for i know them by name..i hope i will not be too late.So help me God.
