What will be an ideal response?
Four major factors impede the participation of women in politics and the economy. First, society is centered on the family more than the individual, and women are expected to marry early and devote themselves to their households. Second, men are considered the “breadwinners,” and women are not expected to hold jobs. Third, a modesty code restricts the entry of women into the workplace and other public spaces. Fourth, religious laws dictate an unbalanced role for men and women in the family.
