Task 3. Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the following questions.
Girls and boys see gender inequality in their homes and communities every day - in textbooks, in the
media and among the adults who care for them.
Parents may assume unequal responsibility for household work, with mothers bearing the burden of
caregiving and chores. The majority of low-skilled and underpaid community health workers who attend to
children are also women, with limited opportunity for professional growth.
And in schools, many girls receive less support than boys to pursue the studies they choose. This happens
for a variety of reasons: The safety, hygiene and sanitation needs of girls may be neglected, barring them from
regularly attending class. Discriminatory teaching practices and education materials also produce gender gaps in
learning and skills development. As a result, nearly 1 in 4 girls between the ages of 15 and 19 are neither employed
nor in education or training - compared to 1 in 10 boys.
Yet, in early childhood, gender inequality starts out small. Girls have higher survival rates at birth, are
more likely to be developmentally on track, and are just as likely to participate in preschool. Among those who
reach secondary school, girls tend to outperform boys in reading across every country where data are available. But
the onset of adolescence can bring significant barriers to girls’ well-being. Gender norms and discrimination
increase their risk of unwanted pregnancy, HIV and AIDS. Besides, girls are cut off from the information and
supplies they need to stay healthy and safe in some places.
2
 Despite major hurdles that still deny them equal rights, girls refuse to limit their ambitions. More and
more girls are attending and completing school, and fewer are getting married or becoming mothers while still
children themselves. But discrimination and limiting stereotypes remain common. That’s why girls from all walks
of life are raising their voices against inequality. Girl-led movements are stopping child marriage, demanding
action on climate change, and pioneering in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) -
asserting their power as global change-makers.
