Suggested solution. In most cases, the so called masters mentioned above are women and mothers, I then wonder why “women suffer women” the reasons why these girls are been maltreated are mostly unjustifiable.  These and some other unfortunate conditions are what some of our mothers had gone through when growing up.

When child labour gets to the extreme, some people refer to it as child abuse. There are several different types of child abuse, and some children experience more than one form.

Because of gender discrimination in the household, the community and, indeed, all levels of society, girls face multiple disadvantages.

In many cultures, families place more value on the education of boys than girls. If a family has to make a choice between sending a boy or girl to school, a boy is preferred. Girls are often the last to be enrolled in school and the first to be withdrawn from class. Girls are more likely to be withdrawn from school i
