There is no stopping a girl child !!!!


Children are vulnerable.

Thanks to the gender bias which prevades over many decades that any girl child is all the more vulnerable to human rights violations and discrimination.

A girl child goes through many a challenges right from her birth.


It is alarming to see that female infanticide still prevails over the 21st Century. There is a definite article on news papers everyday about minor rapes and sexual abuse.

Where are we heading in the days of Sunitha Williams and Barkha Dutts??
It's hightime we do some soul searching and look at our contribution to change the world !!

Infact , i witness the gender inequality in day today life. Even this morning i saw those 2 children who are siblings who walk past the same road which
is enroute to my office.I have seen them twice in the past few months walking to school on the same road.The elder one is a boy and younger one - a girl child . The boy wears his school shoes and the girl walks bare foot
If it had happened once or twice , i could have imagined that the girl had a wound in her foot ....

But this morning was the third time i saw them in the same way & told myself
"This can't be a wound but may be a way of life for many girl children "

Let us welcome the girl child in to the family with joy and glory
Give her hope ,courage and confidence at every stages of her life ...
Let her not realise that being a girl is going to make it difficult for acheiving her big dreams . As even today , most parents kill the dreams of a girl child
by lamenting how difficult it is for a girl
to be ambitious and successful
Let us forget the gender when it comes to love and care.

I hope to see the change and let it begin from me , you and everyone will follow !
