The region that I chose to discuss was West and Central Africa. I chose this region because there is usually a plethora of unfortunate events that take place, and I believe the children to be the ones that have it the worst. These children do not have the means to the education that children in our country do and I am sure it takes some kind of emotional toll on them. Emotional distress can be detrimental to all development.
Some of those challenges include, they have diseases that they do not have vaccines or treatment for, there are instances of child abuse and violence. Some of the children that run into unfortunate events are due to war. It is so unfortunate but, there instances where children have become the way that war is carried out, by killing, abusing and robbing. One mother had to witness her children brutally murdered in front of her. All of her fortune was taken from her when leaving her business one day. One her daughter became pregnant due to the fact that she was raped. I am suer this can be very detrimental to emotional development of the children. Especially the ones that watch it happen.
