Woman

In Africa, women did not have many rights. Now they are gaining more. Some governments have begun to support programs that help women get better jobs. Women who live in the city now have a better opportunity to enter the work force. Lots of women have jobs as clerks, salespeople and bankers, just for example. In some African Nations, like South Africa, women have high-ranking governmental jobs. Yet for most women in rual areas, life has changed little for them.
