Cultural Stereotypes


A.1. Preference for Boys


According to the U.N. Study, "States and social groups often cite religion or culture to justify delay in implementing women's rights; CEDAW points to widespread stereotyping for socio-cultural reasons." It goes on to say, "Religion can be wrongly interpreted, or manipulated to control women, their movement, education and social contacts. Women's absence from the public sphere (including religion) allows men to make these false interpretations, but women are also often seen as guardians of tradition and they themselves can prejudice their own rights."
