Description:

From dawn to dusk with a child fastened to her back with a cloth, African women are on the frontline of keeping the household together.

After hours of farm work, they fetch water, set the children about their work, fetch firewood….

African women work three hours a day longer than the average British woman does on professional and domestic work combined.
