We cannot commemorate Women’s Day without discussing the importance of mothers. Generally, in poorer communities across the country, children aren’t always raised by their biological parents – especially their mothers due to teenage pregnancy.

This often forces the more senior women in the family to step in. A University of KwaZulu-Natal PhD graduate saw this issue and decided to dig a bit deeper to understand the implications of children, especially girl children – not being raised by their biological mothers.
