SAVE THE GIRL CHILD
Girl child is a boon for mankind. She plays multiple essential roles is everyone’s life. She is a mother, a sister, a caretaker, a homemaker, a decision maker, a daughter and an essential component of our society. She grows up to be a woman who creates a new life in her womb and nurtures a family with her morals and values. You can also see girls proving their might in the corporate world and almost every sector of the Indian economy. But, unfortunately some people choose to end the life of a girl child before her birth. They are considered a burden and rarely given equal opportunities as their male counterparts. It’s disturbing that the trend of decline in the Child Sex Ratio (CSR), defined as number of girls per 1000 of boys between 0-6 years of age, has been unabated since 1961. Concerted efforts are required to make the society sensitive about the empowerment of girl child and fighting back prenatal abortions.The decline from 945 in 1991 to 927 in 2001 and further to 918 in 2011 is alarming. The decline in the CSR is a major indicator of women disempowerment.
At AIDER, we recognize the seriousness of this issue. Therefore, Girls of AIDER performed a skit play to spread awareness in the society that girls are equally important as boys. That girls deserve to be nurtured with care and support so as to contribute their optimum towards nation building. Viewers appreciated the efforts made by our girls. Our aim is to reform, perform and transform.
