Question
Are there as many girls as boys in your drawing? Most probably you would have drawn fewer girls. Can you think of reasons why there are fewer women and girls in your neighbourhood streets, parks and markets in the late evenings or at night?
Solution
No. There are fewer girls in comparison to boys. There are fewer women and girls in my neighbourhood streets, parks, and markets in the late evening or at night, because, firstly their population is .less than men and boys, and secondly there is an insecurity to their dignity and respect.
