Answer -
Should girls and boys have the same rights, duties and privileges? What are some of the ways in which society treats them differently? When we speak of ‘human rights’, do we differentiate between girls’ rights and boys’ rights?
Answer:
Yes, girls should definitely be aware of their rights and assert them. Girls and boys must have the same rights, duties and privileges.
People treat boys and girls differently, especially in villages and small towns. Parents tend to spend more on the education of boys as compared to girls. They train their daughters to be polite, calm and an expert at household chores.
When we speak of ‘human rights’, law does not differentiate between girls’ rights and boys’ rights. But this disparity occurs in the society.
