Girls still do most housework. Families should divide tasks fairly so everyone learns essential life skills.

Girls are out of school due to discrimination. Families should support all children in their education and interests, whether in school or the sport activities, without gender bias.

Kids learn gender roles early. Avoid limiting phrases like "boys don’t cry" and let children explore their interests freely.

Many households favor men in decision-making. Families should ensure both parents and children have a voice.

Kids follow what they see. Parents should share responsibilities and treat each other equally to set the right example.
