Question

do international development agencies have the right to intervene in gender arrangements of a country? Is it normally wrong for them not to?

Answer 1

Gender arrangements is very much related to the culture, so, the international agencies cannot intervene in the gender arrangements of a country. Collective cultures have more strict regulations in terms of gender arrangements, whereas, individualistic cultures have loose regulations in terms of gender arrangements. Secondly, each country has their own rules and regulation in terms of gender arrangements which won’t be compatible with the international, especially with the developed nations’ regulations. Thirdly, there are also religious restrictions that won’t match the more individualistic and religion free societies. Finally, no international agency has any responsibility or right to intervene in the affairs of any country.
