Typically in Africa if a family is poor and struggling with feeding their families it is blamed on the women because they are supposed to provide food, keep up housekeeping, and keep everyone healthy in their family, but it is actually the men's fault if the family is struggling because he is the one who is getting paid and is working. Unfortunately men are not always responsible with money and it known that men spend their daily earnings on themselves rather then their own families. So women are not getting the right and the opportunity to provide and responsibly keep their family under a well kept household.
Violating women and taking away their rights is giving them restrictions that only apply to a specific gender. If this problem in Africa does not come to an end soon then there is a lot at stake for women and their freedom to express themselves. For example if women are not getting the same job opportunities and not getting paid the same rate as men then they have to rely on men to provide for them and it is also giving men the power in a relationship which is setting a stereotype and can cause problems because men can think that they have more power over their wife's and that they are constantly in control.
We can help in this situation by having a voice and saying our opinions because they are truly taken for granted and if we speak up with what we feel is right then it might even make the slightest difference. Women do not deserve what is happening to them and we need to make a change. When you think about it we are really lucky to have equal men and women and they are treated the same.
