laugh noun

Durante mucho tiempo, las mujeres y, por supuesto las niñas, estuvieron sometidas a numerosas restricciones: no se les permitía asumir las llamadas "funciones masculinas", es decir, nunca eran jefas de aldea, nunca participaban en actos sociales, la instrucción que recibían era escasa o nula, no se consideraba apropiado que saltaran o se rieran a carcajadas, no podían comparecer ante los tribunales locales (sólo podían hacerlo si un pariente varón actuaba como representante) etc. Todo ello contribuyó a conformar la condición social inferior de la mujer en la sociedad eritrea.
Women, and indeed girls, were brought up with many restrictions: they were not allowed to participate in the so called `male roles' i.e. never had been village chiefs; never joined social gatherings, had little or no schooling; are not expected to jump or laugh loudly; restricted from standing in village courts (they could only be represented by a male relative) etc. All this contributed towards shaping the existing inferior female stance in the Eritrean society today.
