Female Maids Want Education
“I would like to go to school like anyone who is in my age, but my aunty will not allow me to go to a school. She must not even know I spoke with someone about my academic status or lack of it,” Amaka, A Lagos-based child-maid.
There are hundreds of maids who are not allowed to get education by their boss, who they most times referred to as ‘aunty’.
Do you have a maid? Are you giving them an opportunity to be as educated as your children?
This is really bad. How can this child be sent to school? what is the way forward? do we have her contact? how can this be followed up on? How can her future be protected?
