Save Girl Child

“Save girl child”

The struggle of a girl child begins even before the day she is
conceived. In India, female foeticide is a worrying practice,
as cheap abortion technology allows households to exercise
their preference for sons over daughters. She is ‘lucky’ if she
is allowed to be born. Even after birth, the girl child faces
discrimination and oppression. She is not provided with
proper nutrition compared to her male siblings, her
education is not given much importance and in many cases,
parents prefer that their sons continue schooling, and want
their daughters to stay at home and do household work.
 After marriage, the trials faced by women do not end as she
continues to face oppression and even violence in her marital
home.
 How To Save Girl Child ?
• Spread awareness and change mindsets to ensure that communities and families
welcome and celebrate daughters.
• Education for all girl children.
• Create a safe environment for all women and support women’s resistance to
violence.
• Mobilize society, private enterprise and the government to recognize and
celebrate women in the world of work.
• Recognize, redistribute and reduce care work.
• Ensure decent work, fair and equal wages and a safe working environment for
women.
• Ensure that women have access to the property, including house and land.
We have to start with protecting the girl child,
ensuring that her birth is greeted with joy and
she receives all the care and love needed to
grow to her full potential. As a woman, we need
to work to ensure that she gets every
opportunity to realise her potential. By
celebrating, protecting and educating the girl
child, we empower her. By empowering our
daughters we empower their communities
which means empowering the nation!
