A woman should...........
Be a feminist during her college days
Be career minded and care oriented
Dare to stay happily unmarried all her life.
Love being a woman,

SAVE GIRL CHILD – the future progenitor of human world


January 24 is being celebrated as the ‘ National Girl Child Day ‘ in our country. But when we looked upon the sex –ratio in India it provide us a horrifying scenario – 927 girls to 1000 men , a much shameful proportions despite various measures taken up by the government and different NGOs working against gender discriminations. The skewed mindset of Indian population – wanting a male child , and fearing the birth of a female child is a major hindrance in this regard. The most disturbing fact being the practice of female foeticide as even today , the girl child is aborted and thrown wrapped in black polythene bags in gutters . Not only this , little girls are abandoned or murdered after birth , left at the hospitals they were delivered in , on railway platforms and orphanages .Girl child are victim of child trafficking , child labour , child marriage and are even force to prostitution at a very early age , deprieving them of their freedom n childhood . In today’s world , where a woman , Mrs.Pratibha Patil , is our president and when everyone is talking about women empowerment , even educated women in desire to have a male child resorts to female child abortion. Girls are being treated as a mere objects of pity , sympathy and someone with no values of thier own . Here in India , Goddesses are being worshipped and people seek their blessings in everyday life , yet on the other hand girls are considered to be a burden and in many customs , girls child are used to be sacrificed to appease Gods and Goddesses. I being a girl myself truely feels that the time has come to ring a warning bell against the injustice and discrimination girls in the society are facing and take up the great initiative to save the girl child- to provide a promising future to her . The time to wake up to reality and reach out from our busy life to the yet un-enlightened and un-informed , biased members of our society to make that change where every girl child has the right to live a life with dignity , grace , get equal opportunities as every other person and enjoy her life to the fullest and nothing should impede such endeavours . Let us all join hands and give a true tribute to the girl child where every girl child is to celebrate eachday of her life as the “ Day of the Girl Child “
