Uncovering Gender Inequality within Families: A Qualitative Approach
Rinki Khatun, Dr. Sayedil Islam
Abstract: This research paper examines the multifaceted nature of gender inequality, particularly focusing on its origins, manifestations, and potential solutions within family structures and broader societal contexts. It highlights how gender roles are socially constructed and perpetuated through family dynamics, cultural norms, and educational practices. Drawing on various scholarly sources, the paper discusses the impact of patriarchal ideologies and stereotypes on children's development, emphasizing the importance of early intervention in promoting gender equality. The analysis further explores the roles of organizations such as Save the Children and UNICEF in combating gender discrimination and advancing equal opportunities for all genders. By advocating for equitable distribution of household responsibilities, engaging children in conversations about gender rights, and challenging societal norms, this paper aims to provide actionable strategies for fostering a more inclusive and equitable society. Ultimately, it underscores the necessity of collective efforts from families, communities, and institutions to realize gender parity, beginning with fundamental changes at the household level.
