Cultural practices have an important role in middle eastern society and continue to permeate many aspects of life. In most countries, we see cultural practices such as the Sande (for women) and Poro (for men) which lead to many important but unfair roles in society. These traditional cultural practices are obediently delivered to the next generation as the parents or old people provide training to young people in the absence of formal educational structures for transmitting values and skills from one generation to the next (Ahmad,2012). However, I believe, sometimes traditional cultural practices go against human rights because of two reasons: first, ethnic communities in majority have a significant negative impact on the enjoyment of minority rights, and second, some practices affect certain groups, such as women, children, and elderly persons.
