Effects of Socio-Cultural Practices on Humanitarian Response for Girl-Child Education among South Sudanese Girls in Kakuma Camp, Kenya
International Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities Invention(2022)
Abstract
Gender disparity pervades global society due to socio-cultural practices that tend to disfavor girls. Despite previous humanitarian responses, girl-child education still has numerous constraints due to socio-cultural practices. This situation exacerbates doubly during humanitarian emergencies. South Sudanese girls are often denied the same educational opportunities as boys in Kakuma Camp due to cultural attitudes and poverty. The general objective of the study was to investigate the socio-cultural practices affecting humanitarian response towards girl-child education among South Sudanese of Kakuma camp, Kenya. the study was underpinned by a conceptual framework anchored on two theories, namely, socio-cultural theory and theory of Change. The study utilized a descriptive survey research design and evaluative research design. The study was conducted in Kakuma refugee camp, located in Northwestern Kenya. The target population included girls in schools within the refugee camp. The study also targeted other education stakeholders including teachers, members of the school board of management (BOM), parents, girls who dropped out of school, Humanitarian agencies implementing education in the camps and Government officials. The total sample size for the study was 451. The study employed several sampling techniques including stratified proportionate sampling, simple random sampling, convenience sampling, snowball sampling and purposive sampling. Analysis of the data was done using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS version 24) for descriptive statistics to generate frequencies and percentages. The data was presented in form of tables. The study found out that, child/early marriage, boys being preferred to girls and domestic chores were socio-cultural practices that were highly practiced Based on the conclusion the study recommends that the government should strengthen child protection services and policies to protect girls from harmful socio-cultural practices that would affect their education.

- Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
- We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
- We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
- The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
- Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
