As an African girl ,I grow up in a society that believes that the only education suitable for girls is how to cook, wash ,clean, take care of children and are taught to be submissive to the opposite gender, i strongly feel the need for women empowerment to be prioritized in every country more specifically African continent were girls are still deprived the opportunity to go to school and are told to stay home and help mothers with house chores, look after their siblings while their, brothers are encouraged to study hard in Oder to be successful.
