ROLE OF TANZANIAN MEN AND WOMEN

The heading above concerns what I want to speak about and the jobs that men and women have to do in Tanzania. Tradition and culture divide the of labour for men and women.
Men generally are the head of the house ,therefore they must make sure that the family have enough food, shelter, a good house, money for school, treatment, clothes etc.
Men build houses but women do not ,men go hunting but women do not,men climb tall trees and prune, men have to fell trees ,be tree fellers and saw the wood to make furniture and build houses.Also men do carpentry but women do not,men dig walls but women do not,men go to war but women do not,men carry patient using traditional beds but women do not.
Women have to stay at home to look after their children .and do other jobs like ,cooking,fetching water,and also they go to the shamba to dig or weed.They tend to have small gardens which they can plant vegetables, etc for home use.
In addition if a man or a woman has money they don't do those jobs themselves but they can look for workers and pay them , yet still women and man do different jobs .
I can conclude that by doing different roles men and women have to solve lots of problems and most of the famillies live in a happy home.
