TRADITIONAL BELIEFS
Along with government laws, tradition plays a big role in this problem. In third world countries, it is the custom for boys to go to school and girls to stay at home. People believe that a women’s education would be a waste because their important jobs are to cook, clean, look after the children and be a desirable wife. A young girl’s learning environment is at home where she can inherit skills from her mother. The most important skills for a girl to learn are ones so that she can reproduce and be good mother.

SEX SELECTIVE ABORTION
Sex selective abortion is another kind of gender discriminiation. The practice has been seen in many families who believe sons will continue on the family line, and are economically preferable as they do not require dowries.Culturally, some families regard sons as superior to daughters.There are females who abort their female foetuses as a reason of this tradition.

GENDER DISCRIMINATION QUOTES-In the theory of gender I began from zero. There is no masculine power or privilege I did not covet. But slowly, step by step, decade by decade, I was forced to acknowledge that even a woman of abnormal will cannot escape her hormonal identity. Camille Paglia -In our hearts and in our laws, we must treat all our people with fairness and dignity, regardless of their race, religion, gender or sexual orientation. . . .Bill Clinton -The people I'm getting furious with are the women's liberationists. They keep getting on their soapboxes proclaiming that women are brighter than men. That's true, but it should be kept quiet or it ruins the whole racket.Anita Loos
-There is no gender identity behind the expressions of gender; that identity is performatively constituted by the very "expressions" that are said to be its results.Judith Butler

GENDER DISCRIMINATION IN ALBANIAIn Albania we can see all the forms of discrimination. Albanian society remains extremely conservative and patriarchal, particularly in rural areas. Women are expected to obey their husbands and male relatives and accept the role of dutiful wife and mother, and this places many de facto restrictions on their rights to participate in public life, and to enjoy their full human rights. In addition, Albanian women have born the brunt of the social and economic upheavals that have occurred in Albania since the end of the communist regime in the early 1990s, in the form of increased levels of violence against women, female unemployment and poverty, the closing of state-provided childcare facilities, and the revival of discriminatory cultural practices that had been suppressed during the communist period

Discriminatory Family CodeAlbania adopted a new Family Code in 2003.The legal age of marriage is 18 years for women and men.Early marriage is not widespread in Albania, but does occur. Data from the 2008-9 Demographic and Household Survey indicates that 9.4% of women aged 20-49 were married before the aged of 18. Of these, 22.2% had no or basic (four years) primary education, indicating a link between early marriage and denial of access to education.Within the Roma community, girls are sometimes married off at the age of 13-14. In rural areas, most marriages are arranged.Despite the legislation in place, forced marriages occur, particularly within the Roma minority.Polygamy does not appear to be legal in Albania, and is not a common practice. Under the Family Code, Albanian parents share equal parental authority.According to the 2010 CEDAW report, women are more likely to be granted custody of children in the event of divorce.
