I can imagine the pains women must have gone through most especially in Africa before the contact with western education.
Education is totally the key to the liberation of women in Africa or world wide. Tracing the place of women in the society down to the precolonial period or before contact with the western world you will realise that women is not just seen as a sex toy,a kitchen material,a birth machine but they were seen as nothing in the society. You can imagine the pains women go through after labouring for hours to give birth only for the children to be taking away from her because they are twins, you can imagine how many women were thrown away from there homes because they could not give birth only to realize this days that men can also be impotent. You can imagine how many women were heart broken because they gave birth to only female children.
The fear of having only female children in most of our traditional homes makes me wonder. The girl child is not seen as deserving a proper education. Male children are sent to school while the female children are left out. Thank God for western education. I can imagine women being seen as witches because they gave birth to sickle cell children but funny enough we now know why. Women were relegated and seen as being weaker in many ramification.
I took a look at what is happening to the girl child or women in our society then i realise its not where we want to be but we getting better. The time has gone when women are not allowed to preach in the church,women are now being actively involved in politics,women are now in top positions in various companies in the world. All these fall to the fact that western education played a paramount part in the liberation of women in the African society. So if we want the world to be at it best position,let us give the female child the best education
