RE: Gender Inequality #2 Girl Child Education in Africa
Yes both genders suffers but figures from all researches including UNESCO, UNICEF, Human rights reports on girl-child education etc shows girld-children suffers the most and represent 60% of out of school children. Let's use situations in Nigeria for example, how many boys do you see as house helps (domestic servants) in urban homes in Nigeria?
This is not imaginary but estimated facts, Africa needs to do more.
Thanks for reading through @austinofana
Generally i think you concerntrated your research on your what you chose to learn, is there a figure for the numbers of male child that are into child labour, hawking on the streets and numbers of male children from the easterns part of Nigeria that are learning trades under their masters instead of going to school etc.
Of course the girl-child suffers this governmental failure but also the boy-child has it own fair share of the suffer head. I agree Africa needs to do more to ameliorate the situation we find ourselves today.
@austinofana we will agree to disagree on this. Yes the male children in eastern Nigeria and other parts learn trades under their master instead of going to school, in learning such trade in about 5-6yrs they own their own business ventures and start exploring and make money which inturn raise their societal relevance. But how about the girl-children?
have u seen house girl who get settled and own her own business?
girl-children get married off at infantry age of 8-13yrs, does this inccease the girl child societal value or relevance?
some Africa cultures believe male children maintain the family lineage and heritage, does this make girl-child less human?
So many questions to ask you @austinofana, is not just the government failure but Africa perception of the girl child as second class human is mentally and psychologically derailing.
Please take a swift push from your position on this
