| dc.description.abstract | This thesis focuses on the status of women in religious interpretation and socio-cultural attitude and their continuous support the inequality and disparities of gender. The study tried to show how they constraint the attempts to success gender equality. To put a philosophical reflection to this problem by investigating the logical and empirical foundations of the religions' claims that women are naturally inferior to men, this thesis suggests that such demands are logically and empirically unjustified. Importantly hinder the achievement of deferent effort to put an end gender disparity. This strict philosophical inquiring acknowledges religious interpretation the inferiority of women to men. It was also established that such religious interpretation are patriarchal oriented and subjugating women. As a result, the study proved that despite logical and empirical indefensibility of the religious assertion about the nature of women, they continue to influence peoples thought and action therefore remain as obstacle on the progress of equal treatment of gender . The study argues that since the foundation of such religious interpretation are themselves ontologically and epistemologically problematic. Critical discussion of the views of certain philosophers held concerning gender I argue that these scholars supported subjugation of women in a patriarchal setting. It argues that the two religions (Christian and Islamic) are being patriarchal. Finally, when we look the status of women in Ethiopia still women are in low status. Despite the government amends constitution to guarantee the liberty of women but in the ground remains lip services. | |
