[0:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/zBkrNwXNFWrE/en/salma-on-girls-education-and-gender-double-standards?t=3) Wow! Nobody's scared at all. Glad to hear that.

[0:08](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/zBkrNwXNFWrE/en/salma-on-girls-education-and-gender-double-standards?t=8) My name is Salma. I have a husband, two children, a shameless mother-in-law, a dumb dad-in-law, two lazy sisters-in-law and two useless brothers-in-law.

[0:19](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/zBkrNwXNFWrE/en/salma-on-girls-education-and-gender-double-standards?t=19) That's just my in-laws, Same at my parents' home.

[0:22](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/zBkrNwXNFWrE/en/salma-on-girls-education-and-gender-double-standards?t=22) I only studied up to tenth grade. It's not that I didn't want to study, there were too many children in our family and too little money.

[0:29](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/zBkrNwXNFWrE/en/salma-on-girls-education-and-gender-double-standards?t=29) So my father said, "What good is educating a girl?"

[0:32](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/zBkrNwXNFWrE/en/salma-on-girls-education-and-gender-double-standards?t=32) And made me stay at home. He educated my brothers.

[0:35](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/zBkrNwXNFWrE/en/salma-on-girls-education-and-gender-double-standards?t=35) He made them repeat grades, but he educated only them.

[0:38](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/zBkrNwXNFWrE/en/salma-on-girls-education-and-gender-double-standards?t=38) I don't swear, and swearing isn't a good thing either.

[0:41](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/zBkrNwXNFWrE/en/salma-on-girls-education-and-gender-double-standards?t=41) But I don't do it. I'm a girl, right? If a woman swears, she gets disgraced.

[0:44](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/zBkrNwXNFWrE/en/salma-on-girls-education-and-gender-double-standards?t=44) But with men, if you swear, it's OK, they even give awards.
