of financial constraints on women empowerment through education. The study was of
great importance to the women in Africa, and the future researchers. Descriptive research
design was used in the study. The target population was 120 respondents from the top
level management, middle level management and the support staffs of UNESCO. The
researcher made use of simple stratified random sampling procedure to select a sample
size of 54 respondents. A questionnaire was used for collecting data which was analyzed
quantitatively and qualitatively. It is very important to instill culture respect for the
household duties that women traditionally perform and acknowledge that these duties
should be shared between the two genders. The best way to deal with gender
discrimination is to educate employees and to hire women for HR or some managerial
posts. It is highly advisable that both male and female should be given same opportunity
to be in class whereby, the parents and the guardians should struggle to pay for the
female education as they do struggle to pay for their boys. | en_US |
