malawi: Women Gang up against Child Labour

Women activists in Malawi have waged war against child labour saying it is one of the many forms of violence that women in the country suffer from. In the fight against child labour - especially among the girl-children - women activists, educationists and entrepreneurs are using education as weapon to empower girls. They say the rampant violence in Malawi is partly due to the high levels of illiteracy among women and girls.
