Men: traditionally in Peru, men would be given typical male jobs. For instance, males would be given priority in education. Men would also be assigned to look after and protect the women. It was typical that the man of the house would go out and seek a career and provide for his family. Men have more opportunity and higher pay then a women.
In current society, Peru is slowly adopting equal rights for women. However, it's still expected of men to be masculine by providing more than the women in the home. Many homes will operate in the traditional gender roles.
Women: in Peru, women would be asked to take care of the household and bare children. Typically women would cook, clean and raise the children at home while the man was providing for the family. Many young women's education would be neglected and given priority to males of the house. Young women would be taught how to take care of a home and cook.
Although in America it's hard to imagine that women are still being treated unfairly. In Peru women still can be physically harmed by a man with no repercussions to the man. Women have slowly entered the world of working outside of the home. They are still being paid less then men and have less opportunity to get a job.
I personally think that Peru isn't developed enough to implement laws of equality like America. Their country needs to develop further with knowledge, skills and technology. If they try and force their population into acceptance they'll most likely reject the change. You have to let people arrive at their own conclusions with facts and logic.
