Women in Botswana
For the profession of women, they really focus on the collection of velp products to feed their families and they perform the manual labour required in drought relief programes. They are treated less than men. While men get transportation for any where they want to go, the women have to walk to get to the place they want to go. Usually, women get raped alot over there and from that they are more able to get aids like HIV. Their children when they are born they get born with aid. Also, the conditions they live in are very bad and their hygene is also bad which I think thats why they live how they live. To get help, they go to programs or churches where they can get the help they need
