Traditionally, within Ethiopian families, men - particularly older men - are authoritarian patriarchs, and gender roles are strictly divided such that women are responsible for all household work and care. Migration to Australia often changes these dynamics. But, men who come from a different country like not straight from Ethiopia, [but via] Kenya, Sudan or somewhere else, when they come here, because they had experience of living by themselves, and then cooking for themselves, cleaning and things like that, they understand how it can be hard for the woman doing the housework, going to work.
