  2. Three barriers that prevent women in many developing countries are: monetary issues, family illnesses (such as the case with young Kunsokkea), and social status. Three benefits of educating a woman in a developing country are: Huge boosts to self esteem and self worth (which can lead to a more political movement toward the treatment in that society}, less likely to go out and find a job at a young age which would have most likely been with prostitution or other malicious work, and all in all better the standard of education.

  3. Some barriers to educating girls, especially in the developing world are sexism, poverty, and lack of resources. For example, Kun Sokkea (pg 19) faced all three of these issues and even though she was able to attend Overlake School for a while, she could not continue because she lived to far away.
    Educating girls can lead to many benefits. One is that they are less likely to have unplanned pregnancy by becoming more independent. Another benefit is that they are more likely to educate their own children when they do have families, whether they are boys or girls. Lastly, educating women leads to their empowerment and takes a step to ending oppression against women.

  4. Three barriers of educating women are the culture that they live in, how wealthy the country is, and the credibility of the government. The last one could use some explanation. If the government is actually focused on running the country and not on becoming rich and powerful they will more likely see the benefits of educating women.
    Three benefits would be less poverty because women could contribute to the economy, greater and more expanded ideas leading to new discoveries, and the destruction of women sex trafficking .

    2. Family: Often families don't want women to have power

  14. The barriers are cultural norms such as women inequality, poverty, and lack of resources. The benefits would be better equality between men and women, women could do things with their life that they actually want to do and aren't forced to do and more pride in oneself.
