Relationship of Girls Education in Africa

During the Midwest conference, I was touched by the story of Girl child Education in Mali. Many girls have problem going to school. Girls start doing work at age of 6 - 8 as house girls or being maid at early age to support their family members and their education as well, doing a lot of domestic work at their homes. As time goes on, many Girl find their way to the town areas to look for more work to do in order to get more money, so that, they can buy them selves things like clothes and shoes. This exposed many girls in to early relationship with men and in order for them to win a man's heart or look beautiful they have to dress like secretaries put on short clothes, use cosmetics to belch their skins, and design their hair every time  like prostitudes to get attracted, yet decent dressing is when girls put on long clothes. This made me to come to a conclusion that, every thing happening in girl child education are similar in Africa and girls problems real need to be solved.

  1. It is wonderful you found connections across many different nations. What do you think that means about the state of education? How might we begin to change this attitude? Are there any skills or procedures from Dr. Dan's workshops you might apply to begin to narrow down and address this problem? Thank you for sharing your thoughts, I truly enjoyed reading them!
