Praxis of gender inequality : cross cultural syudy of india and yemen

Abstract

According to UNICEF offering girl's basic education means giving them much greater power and enabling them to make genuine choices to live their better life. The convention on the rights of the child and the convention on the elimination of all forms of discrimination against women establish for basic human rights. Seth et.al (2018), conducted qualitative case studies and explore that patriarchy, coercion, social customs, and norms were identified as major social determinants. The two cases demonstrate that social norms influence intergenerational norms and lead to uninformed decision-making and child marriage. In low- and middle-income countries, medical professionals should urgently address child marriage as a major public health problem. Primary care physicians and medical professionals should implement preventive measures and provide anticipatory guidance to prevent child marriage. Basic aim of the study was to compare the cross cultural practices and gender discrimination in the context of marriage and education in India and Yemen. Exploratory and descriptive design was used. Self structures interview schedule was used and sample was selected by using non probability with purposive sampling.
