Being a woman in Mozambique

During my experience overseas I realized that being a woman on a rural area like where I was in Mozambique means that they are in charge of the house, they have to take care of the kids, clean, take care of the husband, cook for everybody and no to speak out very often. All of this can be awful in the world I come from, how it’s possible that in this century women still doing this when they can study, they can develop themselves in any area they would like, they can decide if they still single or married, they can decide to do any kind of work they want.

It’s very easy to judge a culture from outside, but instead of that I wanted to understand the context where they had born. I understood that to do developing work you can’t impose your believes, neither the way they must live. And I got this opportunity while I was working overseas as volunteer.
