What does life as a woman or girl look like in your country / city / town / village? Any issues / challenges / exciting milestones? In Uganda, you are considered a full woman if you are married. Girls are expected to introduce their future husbands on their graduation days. If your career takes off before you are married that means you are sleeping around to get those opportunities. A lot of girls are getting married thinking its a lifetime achievement because that's what society makes us think and these marriages are not lasting more than 6 months. This hypes the rate of abuse, women have been convinced to stay no matter what happens and men are glorified for what they do since women become their absolute properties after paying dowry.
