Kerala Introduces Gender-Neutral School Textbooks

We need to incorporate this into every textbook in the country to eradicate gender bias. Every household needs this change to educate our society that household chores—such as washing clothes, doing dishes, cooking, keeping the house clean, and looking after kids—are not solely a woman’s responsibility.

She is human, not a machine. She needs help, has her own dreams, and might have her own office or business to run.

Why I am talking about it?

We have always taught our daughters these tasks since they were born so that they can be the so-called ‘good daughter-in-law.’ Let’s teach these things to our sons, brothers, and fathers as well. They can do laundry, wash dishes, and more—these are not solely a woman’s responsibilities.

You should care because…

By participating in these tasks as a partner, or even as a brother or father in the household, you will not only help the women at home but also change the dynamics of the household. It will become more peaceful, happy, and joyful.
