The Cultural Abuse of African
'omen E
Abstrac
In developing countries, women tend to suffer
because of the standards society has forced upon
them.
After
seeing
the beauty of their customs
and cultures one may wonder why abuse and
mistreatment
are acceptable standards in these
countries, especially in several parts of Africa.
My research questions are:
1. Why are women constantly abused and
overlooked?
2. Why in a world that has progressed so
rapidly do people seem not to see the
abuses of women?
Why are solutions not being offered?
These
questions
are
important
to
entertain
because morally in order to have a better world,
something must be done.
