Notas : The problems of an African woman are numerous. Some of them are biological while some are cultural. Starting with the traditional problem, the woman is over burdened with child-bearing as there is no traditional family planning. In the picture, a woman is holding a three-year old child while backing a less than one year old child and she is also pregnant. Within the period of three years or so, the woman has to cope with three children, each of them demanding time, attention and motherly care. In addition to the care of the children, the African woman is also in charge of catering and cooking for the family and other household chores. As seen in the picture, the woman is carrying a pot to fetch drinking water and also firewood for her family. There are more problems, not shown in the picture but the African woman encounters much problems.
