Reply #92: I could have been more specific, but the African "Problems"

[SoCalDem]

I referred to were the women who seem to be doing most of the work.. all over Africa, yet get little control over their lives, due to a system that keeps them uneducated (for the most part). Once educated, they actually make real changes to many lives...and in a short amount of time. There was an article just recently about a group of women who had been raped, and were cast out of their village, so they started their own town, and it's prospering to the degree, that other women are gladly joining them..Things that needed to be done for ages, are now happening, because the women can work together well, and once out from under the societal pressure they grew up with, they are flourishing.

I never said I was expert in all things African..and did not mean to offend with false claims or comparisons... I was merely trying to point out the common thread:)
