Q17 of 25 Page 55

What is a sexual division of labour? Mention the main demand of the worldwide women agitation.

The children are it boy or girl, grow up together in the same environment, but as they grow older girls are made to learn household chores and boys are taught to work outside and earn money.

Women do household works like cooking, tailoring, washing clothes etc. But when the same works are paid ones men would readily do them. We must have seen chefs of hotels are male.


The demands are:


1. Equal rights as that of men.


2. In some countries, they demanded equal voting rights.


3. Increasing opportunities for them in education and career.
