The role of women in society during the centuries have been so similar in some civilizations, as you can see differents a few cultures have discriminated the women, because they belived that they were inferior than men in physical and mental aspects, so the focus of my essay, is going to be the inequality and advantages in the role of the women in Uganda and Bhtuan.
At first instance, you can see how was the role of women at work, that began in 1980, when men from Bhutan began working on the industrial service, so women had to take the place in the agriculture, while in Uganda was dissimilar, because the agricultural work was men responsability, so women were in charge of the raising the kids and just a few had a role in agriculture.
To continue with my idea, I'm going to describe the Uganda society, where women's role is clearly subordinate to those of men, because the women had as principal responsability the childcare, as i mentioned before. Moreover, women were taught to accede to the father's wishes, brothers, husband and sometimes of other men, however, some women wew really outstanding religious leaders, instead in Bhtutan women obviously took care of their children, but women didn't were treated like a object, as was in Uganda, Bhutan women go to primary and high school because they're able to participate in politics and administration when grown up, due to this there's less than 4% of unemployees women which is an inferior percentage of unemployees compared to men (10%).
To dispose of, nowadays there are different associations in both, Uganda and Bhutan that aim to help women to improve their socioeconomic status and to recover the childre they've lost because of divorce, separation or widowhood. The existence of these associations let us know that in some cultures there's been inequality for women but in others women has been an outstanding part of the society.
