How do cultural norms impact educational disparities that contribute to global poverty, particularly among women?

Cultural norms are the shared beliefs and practices that shape how people behave in a society. In many cultures, there are traditional views about the roles of women that can limit their access to education. For example, in some communities, girls might be expected to stay home to help with household chores instead of going to school, which reduces their chances of getting a good job later in life. This lack of education can trap women in a cycle of poverty, as they may not have the skills needed to earn a decent income. By changing these cultural norms and encouraging education for girls, we can help reduce poverty and promote equality.
