Summary :

According to Duncan’s research,Historically girls has always been restricted to obtain their human rights compared to boys. In the last few centuries, this scenario has changed dramatically because of the implementation of girls education by democratic government. Availability, accessibility,acceptability, adaptability of education and solving unemployment problems are the keys to this changes according to United Nation. But in some countries boys are having difficulties getting their human rights because the government is biased towards women. So to ensure proper human rights, both boys and girls should be provided equal facilities referring gender equality.

Reflection :

I strongly agree with this research because gender equality increases the number of intellectual people in the country. With more educated and productive youths a country can prosper immensely. Although government should also consider increasing employment opportunities to cope up with the growth of the number of workers.

Quote the text :

• Duncan’s research didn’t talk about the imperfect education system of under developed and developing countries. Yes it’s true that developed country possess best education system to create intellectual people. But wrong education system can also increase frustrated students and suicide cases resulting the violation of human rights.
