Paragraph text
Patriarchalism is therefore a system which causes and perpetuates serious and systematic human rights violations, such as violence and discrimination against women. Education is the main fundamental tool for combating patriarchalism and generating the cultural shift so necessary for equality among individuals. When it is not properly organized, the education system has the opposite result, perpetuating injustice and discrimination.
