What were the different reasons people had for not sending girls to school?

Reasons for Not Sending Girls to School
1. Traditional Gender Roles: Society viewed girls primarily as homemakers, assigning them domestic roles over education.

2. Economic Priorities: Families prioritized boys’ education as an investment for future income, often neglecting girls’ schooling due to financial constraints.

3. Social Restrictions: Cultural norms limited girls’ mobility and posed safety concerns, discouraging families from sending them to school.

4. Early Marriage and Domestic Duties: Concerns about early marriage and the belief in girls’ responsibility for household chores overshadowed the importance of education.

5. Lack of Access: Absence of nearby schools for girls or safety issues in reaching distant schools hindered their access to education.

6. Cultural Attitudes: Prevailing stereotypes about women’s limited capabilities in society influenced decisions to withhold education from girls.

These reasons perpetuated gender inequalities, limiting girls’ access to education and opportunities, but ongoing efforts aim to overcome these barriers and promote equal educational rights for girls.
