There's a lot I can do as a daughter to help them, I can help with some chores like washing my own clothes. I didn't think that parents would be conscious or care for this matter because they were born in a very different context, but I learned that they do care.

My parents think that gender equallity is an important subject and that it has to be implied in kids since young.

Our society has talked about social equallity a lot, but it hasn't been completely solved.

I like to help my parents with the housework whenever I can, sometimes I vacuum the house or deep clean my room.

I really enjoyed talking to my parents about this, they cared and knew more of the topic than I expected.
