In chapter 2, what differences are noted between the way girls and boys are treated?

Chapters 1 and 2 both point out to readers that boys and girls are treated much differently from each other. Chapter 1 begins by telling readers that people commiserated with Malala's mother because she gave birth to a daughter. Sons are celebrated and daughters are "hidden away behind a curtain." Chapter 2 continues informing readers about the vast differences in how boys and girls are treated. We find out that girls have to stay at home while boys get to go to school. Diets are also different between the sexes. Girls are not given cream or milk in the mornings. Instead, they are given tea with no milk. Eggs are given to the boys, and the best cuts of chicken are given to the men and boys as well.

When a chicken was slaughtered for dinner, the girls would get the wings and the neck while the luscious breast meat was enjoyed by my father, his brother and my grandfather.

Women are also not allowed to open a bank account unless a man permits it, and women are more often than not forbidden from participating in sports.
