Despite the progress, there remain outdated beliefs about women's roles, traditionally passed down
from generation to generation. Men are commonly seen as the strong bodies, bread-winners in the family
and key leaders in society, while women are restricted to being housewives and child bearing and care, and
housework such as washing and cooking.
According to social surveys, many women in the 21st century still have to work over 12 hours a day
including working in offices and doing countless household chores without any help from their husbands. In
some regions, the labor of women is not recognized despite the hardships they endure to support the whole
family. Moreover, women are the direct victims of family violence, especially in rural areas.
Thanks to the women's liberation movement, nowadays women have proved that they are equal to men in
every aspect. An average woman has weaker muscles than an average man but she may be as intelligent
as he is. Women can do everything that men can, and women can do one thing that no man can: they
produce children.
