Women In Botswana...

Life for women in Botswana is very diffuclult. Not many have jobs so most of them stay home and be a "house wife". It is also said the woman have a problem of being beaten and raped. So life isn't neccesarily safe. There is also the fear of HIV in Botswana. So with women being raped it is likely their life expectancy is not very long.

As far as daily activities the women walk everywhere. They walk to church,home, and the market. The women are the ones who gather the food and beverages.The woman also help with the manual labour of drought relief program.
