It is no surprise that girls do more housework than boys. They do 40 percent more, which is more than 160 million hours every day. In some countries, this figure is a lot higher. A report from UNICEF(联合国儿童基金会) highlights this gap. UNICEF said girls lose important chances to learn, grow and enjoy their childhood. It added that this inequality among children means women and girls end up doing more work across generations.
Most work done by girls is very physical. Most girls cook, clean, collect firewood or water and care for younger children and elderly relatives. In Somalia, girls spend 26 hours a week on household chores. UNICEF said that knowing the challenges girls face is the first important step towards gender equality.
