Answer:

In many Afghan households, the birth of a girl is a cause for despair. Women in particular are viewed as burdens and compelled to live a life with restricted alternatives, while boys are regarded as gifts. As a result, they are unable to leave the house on their own. They are also uneducated, and they wear clothing that disguise them and limit their perspective of the world.
