Deep rooted culture in our society is a great hindrance to women and girls empowerment. Most human societies are patriarchal and male centered, which implies that these societies traditionally cater for the rights of men. CREAW continues to create awareness on the issues of women’s human and legal rights and the need for a greater guarantee of their enjoyment through transforming the cultural belief system that perpetuates gender insubordination. |
Bride Price/Dowry
The argument goes on to draw attention to the demeaning status that the wife is subjected to as she is viewed as a commodity to be bought and sold. With women subject to this situation, men are favored to control property, income, and labor. Furthermore, dowry violates women's rights because it encourages early marriages in cases where parents are eager to collect dowry on marrying off their daughters. It is against this backdrop that the dowry tradition is slowly eroding.
