Gender inequality in Liberia

The extent of gender inequalities varies throughout Liberia in regard to status, region, rural/urban areas, and traditional cultures. In general, women in Liberia have less access to education, health care, property, and justice when compared to men. Liberia suffered two devastating civil wars from 1989—1996 and 1999—2003. The wars left the country nearly destroyed with minimal infrastructure and thousands dead. Liberia has a Human Development Report ranking of 174 out of 187 and a Gender Inequality Index rank of 143 out of 147.〔"HDI, GII." In Human Development Report. : (http://hdr.undp.org/en/media/HDR2013_EN_Statistics.pdf, 2013. 143, 158.〕
Despite the progress of Liberia's economy since the end of its second civil war in 2003, it remains one of the poorest countries in the world today with high levels of poverty and deprivation, exacerbated by economic crises and increasing food prices.〔Wodon, Quentin. "Brief Overview ." In Poverty and the Policy Response to the Economic Crisis in Liberia . Washington D.C.: The World Bank, 2012. 1.〕
==Gender roles==
In Liberia, men and women have clear gender divisions of labor. Women typically clean, cook, and take care of children, but their contributions to the family are rarely recognized as work. Men are seen as the head of the households and the breadwinners. Women are held back in society by biases in education, health care, land ownership, and credit, along with cultural practices like pre-arranged marriages and female genital mutilation.〔Population Growth and Distribution" In Consideration of reports submitted by states parties under article 18 of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women combined initial, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth periodic reports of states parties : Liberia.. New York: United Nations, 2008. p 33〕 These factors constrain women from entering the workforce. The traditional role of women as caretaker in Liberian society is an example of Martha Nussbaum's idea of a resource-based approach, favoring protection of the status quo.〔Nussbaum , Martha . " In Promoting Women's Capabilities". p 253.〕
