The main stereotype in our community is the racial discrimination between male and female. Parents are using on of these ways either preference to males over female in treatment or female infanticide. Every father and mother distinguish between their children are ignorant because the distinction between children detract from the feeling of filiation. This distinction is often a motive for most crimes of family that has intensified over the past years and has become an approximately 60% fcrimes committed within the community. These crimes occur because the enmity arise between the children. For example, a son who unwanted though that his brother are the reason for suffering the deprivation and oppression and then he will be ready to avnge them when given the opportunity. Some studies have indicated that there is a difference in upbringing betwee males and females including no health care, food and discrimination in access to education and not to give girls an opportunity to make decisions concerning their lives.
The discriminatory attitudes towards women, girls, the roles based on stereotypes and inadequate awareness ofthesituaion of the girl child are causig damage to them in the community such as the work of the girl child including their work in the home, persistenc of poverty and lack of funds ofte prevented them from access to educaion and training. These resons contibuted to the lack of opportunities and possibilities for girls to gain self-confidence, self-reliance and independence. For example, when the family set given level ofeducation of thegirl does not transcend them and allow her brother to continue education, this violence based on gender against girls such as beatings, marginalization, and degradation and humliation contuinued. This phonomenon exists in our society and in traditional societies, but was not apparent on the surface, it is hardly devoid f them home.
We find that some mothers oppress their daughters for male children and dstinguish them in everything because he is a man. In some village, every female bears the burden of home and field, and the man has the right to take command, even if he is umemployed. Many families believe that a home business is one ofthe duties of the female alone, and tht when the male take part in the house, it is considered deficient manhood.
Female infanticide
Previously, families prefer to give birth to male over females and now this issue still exist in some families. When they hear that they gave birth to a boy, they feel happy and joy beyond description. But if they gave birth to a girl, they believe that something sad has happened to them. Female infanticide is to bury the girl alive, and it was one of the sleepy old habits. At the present time, female infanticide is taking another form which is the pregnant women aborted the fetus. After women know that she is pregnant a girl, she is immediately aborted the fetus. This habit is spreading, especially in China.
