"Women carry a Heavy Load" Botswana Local Custom Tip by windsorgirl

I noticed in Botswana that the women are often burdoned by large loads, usually on their head as well as in their hands and sometimes a baby on their back also. However, the men don't carry much if anything at all. The reason for this, is that traditionally the men need their hands free in order to defend their family from possible enemy/animal attacks.
