| dc.description.abstract | If one walks around the villages during the day, you will notice
women working in the field or drawing water, probably with a child
she is looking after nearby. At the same time, a look at the nearby
shopping centre will reveal one or two men or even more discussing
over feq beers one then is left to why this is so and why
it is allowed to happen; In the evening a visit to different homesteads will disclose the mother Preparing dinner and at the same time
washing the children while the husbands takes a nap Or sits by the
fire; or in fact discussing over a few beers' at the shopping
centre. One again wonders why this is so.
In the urban areas, life is not very different. In the evening
at the "Estates", the wife is usually cooking and washing the children while the husband probably watches his favorite programme on television. this reveals that women have more "duties" than their husbands though somehow the latter are the heads of the households.
Recently a number of women have climbed up the Ladder to achieve
National status others have becoming National heroes, who are accorded more respect and admired more by the public than their male counterparts. This means that women can no longer be ignored by our community. husbands whether men like or not, women will soon occupy
their rightful place in society without, necessarily waiting for our
approval. | |
