Both parents have to teach children to collaborate in housework, so that in the future men and women can do the same responsibilities, demonstrating healthy gender equality.  This is because, sometimes, women have the charge of the house, and then they carry the mental load, which is not bad, but getting worried about everything is not good for your health.

"This triple load women are carrying may exacerbate the high levels of stress that mothers are already at risk of – along with other mental health issues."

Demonstrate to the men of the families that they can do the housework, like the ironing, cleaning, cooking, or other activities to be more equal to the family.

Educate your children to eradicate gender stereotypes.  Here can starts since children are playing with any toys that are just considered for boys or girls (cars for boys and dolls for girls), or maybe the color for each sex (blue for boys and pink for girls).  All girls can choose what they want to play  and the color they want to dress. Boys can do exactly the same.

Educate all the parents, sons and daughters, to be more equitable.  Not all the work in the house needs to be done by the girls, and not all the money has to be earned by the boys; in the house they have to learn that equality is for all.

Watch the children’s behavior towards the handling of chores.  If the son or daughter doesn’t cooperate in the maintenance of the house and prefers to do something else, both parents should carry out interactive activities where the objectives could be done, and a healthy relationship could be reached as a family.

Poverty and Hunger

Gender inequality is a major cause and effect of hunger and poverty: it is estimated that 60 percent of chronically hungry people are women and girls. (Source: WFP Gender Policy and Strategy.)

On average, women make up about 43 percent of the agricultural labour force in developing countries. Evidence indicates that if these women had the same access to productive resources as men, they could increase yields on their farms by 20 to 30 percent, raising total agricultural output in these countries by 2.5 to 4 percent. This would reduce the number of hungry people in the world by around 12 to 17 percent.

Almost 70 percent of employed women in South Asia work in agriculture, as do more than 60 percent of employed women in sub-Saharan Africa. This highlights the importance of developing policies and programmes that address their needs, interests and constraints.

Less than 20 percent of the world's landholders are women. Women represent fewer than 5 percent of all agricultural landholders in North Africa and West Asia, while in sub-Saharan Africa they make up an average of 15 percent.

Women in sub-Saharan Africa collectively spend about 40 billion hours a year collecting water. Per week, women in Guinea collect water for 5.7 hours, compared to 2.3 hours for men; in Sierra Leone women spend 7.3 compared to 4.5 hours for men; and in Malawi this figure is 9.1 compared to 1.1 hours. This significantly impacts women's employment opportunities.

Research indicates that when more income is put into the hands of women, child nutrition, health and education improves. In South and Central America, rural children are about 1.8 times more likely to be underweight than their urban counterparts. Other regions do not fare much better.

Education

Women make up more than two-thirds of the world's 796 million illiterate people.

According to global statistics, just 39 percent of rural girls attend secondary school. This is far fewer than rural boys (45 percent), urban girls (59 percent) and urban boys (60 percent).

Every additional year of primary school increases girls' eventual wages by 10-20 percent. It also encourages them to marry later and have fewer children, and leaves them less vulnerable to violence.

While progress has been made in reducing the gender gap in urban primary school enrolment, data from 42 countries shows that rural girls are twice as likely as urban girls to be out of school.

In Pakistan a half-kilometre increase in the distance to school will decrease girls' enrolment by 20 percent. In Egypt, Indonesia and several African countries, building local schools in rural communities increased girls' enrolment.

In Cambodia, 48 percent of rural women are illiterate compared to 14 percent of rural men.

Rural women's deficits in education have long-term implications for family well-being and poverty reduction. Vast improvements have been seen in the mortality rates of children less than 5 years old since 1990, but rural rates are usually much higher than urban ones.

Data from 68 countries indicates that a woman's education is a key factor in determining a child's survival.

Children of mothers with no education in the Latin American and Caribbean region are 3.1 times more likely to die than those with mothers who have secondary or tertiary education, and 1.6 more likely to die that those whose mothers have primary-level education.

Employment

In most countries, women in rural areas who work for wages are more likely than men to hold seasonal, part-time and low-wage jobs. Women also receive lower wages for the same work. (Source: FAO, 2011. "The State of Food and Agriculture: Women in Agriculture, Closing the Gender Gap for Development.)

Men's average wages are higher than women's in both rural and urban areas. Rural women typically work longer hours than men, due to additional reproductive, domestic and care responsibilities.

In Benin and Tanzania, women work 17.4 and 14 hours more than men per week, respectively.

Decision-Making

A large gender gap remains in women's access to decision-making and leadership.

Women make up fewer elected representatives in most rural councils. In Asia, this ranges between 1.6 percent in Sri Lanka and 31 percent in Pakistan.

Women's participation as chairs or heads in rural councils is also much lower than men's, as seen in Bangladesh (0.2 percent) and Cambodia (7 percent).

Educated women are more likely to have greater decision-making power within their households.

Maternal Health

Between 1990 and 2008, the proportion of rural women receiving prenatal care at least once during pregnancy grew from 55 to 66 percent.

However, only one-third of rural women receive prenatal care compared to 50 percent in developing regions as a whole. (Source: United Nations, The Millennium Development Goals Report 2010 and 2011, available from www.un.org/millenniumgoals/reports.shtml.)

Violence against Women

More rural women experience domestic violence, and yet few seek services, according to a multi-country study by the World Health Organization (WHO). In Peru, less than 5 percent of the total amount of rural domestic violence survivors (60 percent) sought help, compared to approximately 16 percent of urban women (out of 49 percent).

HIV and AIDS, Malaria and Other Diseases

Rural women understand less about how HIV spreads compared to urban women; WHO figures from 25 countries indicate the margins of understanding between the two to be between 20 and 50 percent. Bolivia, Egypt, Indonesia and India are among the countries with the wider of such gaps.

HIV exacerbates property insecurity, especially for widows whose husbands have died from AIDS-related causes, but who may not have rights to inherit or own their land.

The burden of care is also carried by women. Women and girls account for 66 to 90 percent of all AIDS care givers; conditions are most difficult for women and girls in rural areas, and this can increase their own vulnerability to infection.

Environmental Sustainability

There is still far less access to clean or improved water sources in rural areas than in urban areas. In 2008, an estimated 743 million people living in rural areas relied on unimproved sources for drinking water, compared to 141 million in urban areas.

People in the least developed countries rely on open fires and traditional cooking stoves (for example, wood, crop waste and charcoal) to earn a living and feed their families. It is usually women who walk the long distances every day to collect fuel (and water). (Source: UNIDO, 2011. Contribution to the LDC IV Conference on Energy Access.)

Environmental degradation has an impact on natural resources and can affect rural women differently from men. For example, since rural women tend to have fewer occupational options and less mobility than men, many rely on natural resources from forests.

Natural disasters, climate change and conflict can undermine the health, education and livelihoods of rural women, differently to men. For example, although women usually manage the small plots of agricultural land in each family for income or sustenance in developing countries, land titles are most likely to be held by the men. This means that following a disaster, many women cannot independently claim state-offered reconstruction funds. Women can also be more at risk of harm during flooding in countries where boys are taught to swim at an early age, but girls rarely are.

Evidence from 25 developed and developing countries indicates that countries with higher female parliamentary representation are more likely to set aside protected land areas.

Facts and figures are drawn from the inter-agency report, "Rural Women and the Millennium Development Goals, produced by the UN Inter-Agency Task Force on Rural Women, unless other sources cited.

Statistics
#1 The US is one of only eight countries in the world that does not provide any form of paid maternity leave.
Maternity leave has been linked to fewer newborn and infant deaths, higher rates of breastfeeding, less postpartum depression and a more hands-on role for new fathers and And while women who have the opportunity of proper paid maternity leave are more likely to stay in the workforce and earn higher wages, the United States and a seven smaller nations still offer no such compensation.
#2 As a result of contraceptive use, there were 26 million fewer unsafe abortions in the world's poorest countries.
This staggering statistic is really quite simple: greater access to contraception saves lives.
#3 In low-income countries, for every hundred boys who continue their education after high school, only fifty-five girls do the same.
Access to education is life-changing Sending girls to school leads to improved literacy, higher wages, and faster income growth. It reduces the chance of premarital sex, lowers the chance of early marriage, delays first births, and helps mothers learn about how to plan and space their births apart. Whilst the benefits are endless, girls around the world continue to face barriers to secondary and post-secondary education
#4 On average, women around the world spend more than twice as many hours as men doing unpaid work.
Unpaid work refers to work performed in the home, from childcare, cooking and cleaning, to collecting water and gathering firewood in communities without electricity and running water. In India, women spend an average of six hours a day performing unpaid work, while men spend only one. In the US, women spend an average of four hours a day; men just 2.5. There is no country where the gap is zero. Across their lifetimes, on average a woman will spend seven years more performing unpaid work than a man. Cutting women's unpaid work from five hours a day to three boosts women's participation in the workforce by approximately 20 percent. Participating in paid work is hugely significant as it gives women the power, independence and financial resources to achieve equality with their male counterparts.
#5 Women across the world currently bear the majority of childcare . . .
But, when fathers take on at least 40 percent of the childcare responsibilities, they themselves are at lower risk of depression and drug abuse, and their children will average higher test scores, have stronger self-esteem, and fewer behavioural problems.
#6 Gender discrimination is encoded into law in countries across the globe. These are just a few examples:

113 countries do not have laws to ensure equal pay for equal work among men and women

104 countries make certain jobs off-limits for women.

39 countries have laws that mean a daughter cannot inherit the same proportion of assets as a son.

36 countries limit what wives can inherit from their husbands;

29 countries restrict the hours women can work;

18 countries allow men to prohibit their wives from working;

17 countries limit when and how women can travel outside the home.

It is these antiquated laws that are holding women back from empowerment.

GENERAL PARENTS´ OPINIONS AND OUR OPINION

# data[].attributes.body
Generally, they said that the women should stay at home, because they are more prepared to take care of the children, and men should work outside.
In our opinion, this is quite true, but nowadays, the mayority of us are prepared to educate and teach our next generations that women can also work outside, and men can also stay at home and educate their children. WE HAVE TO CHANGE THIS MINDSET AND BECOME A GROWTH MINDSET!

# data[].attributes.body
Eugenio: In my family, my parents think that the women have to be in charge of the house, because in the past, women were just educated for the chores, the caring of children, etc; and men have to bring the money to the family to pay for all the basic necessities.  However, they think that nowadays, women and men have to be involved in the house responsibilities and they can work outside to maintain their family.

Guerrero: In my family, my parents are of those ones of the old school, like the women do the housework and the father brings all the money to the house, I want to change this but my parents usually don’t hear me, also we have a woman who help us, and my sister helps to clean the dishes, and I sometimes clean the clothes.
