Traditional values-using tradition as an excuse, often husbands in Africa believe that their wives should obey them at all costs, and fully devote their lives to having children and maintaining house.
I'm off to look for work, be sure to keep the house in line, and have dinner on the table when i arrive home.
Ok. Be sure to find something today, we really need that money for the kids. Ill walk the boys to school now.
Around 8% of men in Africa are unemployed, due to lack of education or workplace opportunity.
Alright boys! No more room inside, and since were low on supplies, school is canceled, go home for the day.
Man, I wish i could go to school.
Lack of education-not enough education funding for kids to attend safe and productive schools in most areas. Some girls still not being allowed to attend school at all.
I don't care. We need the money, and plenty of girls your age are already married with a baby on the way.
Child Marriage-There are over 50 million child brides in Africa. Very little of them out of free will, and most living a life of domestic abuse.
Mom, you cant do this! I cant marry him! Im only 14, and hes as old as dad!
