Abstract
Gender inequalities are geographically determined and inuenced (among others) by dominant culture and religion. For example, the inuence of Muslim cultural rules and traditions (not necessarily based on Quran) on the status of women is frequent topic of geographical and popular studies in recent years.
Buddhism, Hinduism and Christianity form characteristic behavioral patterns of women and men and also hierarchical organization of society, which more or less discriminates women. The aim of this paper is to analyze the normative framework of the role of women in the biggest world religions in social, economic and political sphere and to compare this religions using statistical analysis.
