I Indien är skillnaderna mellan pojkar och flickor påtagliga. Pojkarna ska försörja familjen när de blir vuxna, medan flickor ska giftas bort, ibland långt innan de har blivit vuxna. Detta märks tydligt på skillnaden i kvantitet skolgång som de får. Pojkars skolgång prioriteras framför flickors och för bara några år sedan skilde det över 20 procentenheter mellan läs- och skrivkunniga kvinnor och män. Det har visserligen blivit bättre på senare år, större och större andel flickor får börja skolan, men det är ändå fortfarande betydligt fler pojkar än flickor som skrivs in i skolan varje år.
