Info

Female-headed households On average, there are thirty times as many female-headed households within the African community, as compared to the white community. Female-headed households are mainly in the rural areas and in informal settlements and tend to be poorer than even those headed by African men. Poverty rate among female-headed and male-headed households Sixty percent of households are female headed and 31 percent are headed by males. Living Conditions 10 Access to water The lack of access to a water source inside the home is more common in rural and peri-urban areas, and 71% of African households have to fetch water from outside the home. The water source is often some distance from the dwelling, and on average, women spend over an hour every day fetching water.
Access to piped water in dwellings by race groups 27 percent of Africans have access to piped water, compared with 98 percent of Indians and 96 percent whites. Health care As black women have limited access to employment opportunities, they also have less access to private medical aid. Only 8% of African women have access to a medical aid, compared to 72% of white women. Poverty related diseases such as tuberculosis and kwashiorkor are prevalent amongst African poor people. Black women tend to bear the brunt of the HIV pandemic because their socio-economic positions makes it difficult for them to negotiate safer sex or demand monogamy from their partners. HIV positive women often face ostracism from their communities, which, given women’s insecure financial position, means being left destitute. 11
