Do families that favor sons over daughters exist?

Answer: Yes, patriarchal families exist. In some traditional cultural and social backgrounds, men are considered to be the heirs and pillars of the family, while women are considered to be married off and cannot bring wealth and status to the family. This kind of thinking has led some families to pay more attention to boys and pay less attention or give less attention and resources to girls. This phenomenon is especially common in some rural areas and backward areas.

Families that favor boys over girls can have a negative impact on girls’ growth and development. Girls may suffer discrimination and unfair treatment, lack education and development opportunities, and may even be forced to marry and have children early. These will affect girls' self-esteem and self-confidence, limiting their development potential and future opportunities.

Therefore, we should work hard to eliminate the idea of ????preferring boys over girls, promote equality between men and women, and provide equal education and development opportunities for every child.
