The Women Empowerment Uganda Females Need

By Stephanie Smith


It is not easy to bare the load of a woman. They have been taken for granted by men throughout the centuries, however, things are changing and will hopefully get better as time goes by. Women have always suffered abuse at the hands of their husbands, especially those from developing countries. Females are degraded and robbed of an education and in these countries and this is a cycle that does not seem to have an end. There should be more programs like the women empowerment Uganda is currently offering their females.

It is predominantly women from these developing countries that go through this. The people in these places lack education. It is even harder to be a woman and still be educated at the same time, It is not placed as priority and females are taught hat their main purpose in life is to get married and serve their husbands. Men have used this misconception and actually abused it.

This abuse takes many forms. Females in some countries are kept at home. Females as young as twelve years old are married off to men much older than they are. They are deprived of an education and worse still their childhood. In other countries they go through physical abuse and intimidation.

This type of women abuse happens in various countries around the world. It doesn't matter whether is a third world country or a first world country. The only difference is that it is done much more subtly in first world countries as compared to how openly it is done in these developing countries. However, it is still abuse irrespective of how it is cloaked.

This has been going on for centuries. Women have always been treated as the lesser sex and the less important sex. Yet the are tasked with bearing children. They are trusted to bring both male and females into this world, yet they are not given credit for everything else they do, such as raising them, taking care of the home and seeing to all the duties that hey have.

Yet the amazing thing about a woman is that she will always rise above the ashes. She she wipe away her tears, she will dust herself off and she will continue to pray and take care of her children, because she is not just a woman, but a mother. She is stronger than men think she is and she is not defeated, by beatings or verbal abuse. She may be knocked down, yet she is not knocked out.

Although there are quite a few programs offering services to females, suffering with abuse from their husbands or other family members, many of them are still afraid to speak out. It appears that they are afraid of being beaten or cast out if this is brought to the attention of the men in their family. So many of them suffer in silence.

If you know of females who are going through similar situations you should speak out and notify the proper organizations so they van step in and be of assistance to these females. You never really know if some of these situations are actually life or death matters, until you speak out and get help.
