Cultural discrimination is where people do not have human rights in the world due to their race, gender, religion, or language. In the South of Madagascar, Malagasy families in rural areas earn their lives through farming and agricultural activities. Females were less considered in the society and can also be treated as slaves. One may see a women walking with heavy luggage and their husbands walk with nothing in hands. Girls were believed to be weak because of the estimated distance of 6 kilometers by foot to schools from the villages. So instead, the girls stay at home with their mother to learn how to become a good mother and how to take care of the family along with the whole house. Some would be sold to rich men for a night. Women's freedom and the right to choose their works depend on the cultural, educational, and economical issues. Lack of knowledge keeps women from new techniques such as medical care. On the other hand, boys were thought to be advantageous in the Malagasy rural system. They were considered more intelligent and stronger; therefore, they deserve the better.
 * __Background/ Country Policy__:**

The UN is working on coming up with the best solution for this problem. The Malagasy Constitution of 1992 provided guarantees that any citizen of Madagascar had the right to run for political or public office without any discrimination. The Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination will present the final recommendations and invite representatives of the Permanent mission of Madagascar for public security.
 * __UN Involvement__:**

Madagascar thinks that we as well as other countries should educate the people who discriminate others because of the difference in culture. Thus, other people will feel that they have more freedom. Countries should also have more foreign trade because they can learn more cultural artifacts from each other through this process. Additionally, there should be more opportunities to travel all over the world so that people can have a better chance to interact with one another without discrimination. Therefore, everyone can live a better life.
