GIRL CHILD

In India, there are many cases emerging out on girl child. In rural areas, people are still practicing methods to avoid girl child. People think that for a girl they have to spend lot of money for her education and other expenses and at last for the dowry, which is a waste of money as one day she will become a housewife after all. They don’t know the importance of a girl in the society. They treat her as a burden. They feel that having a son can continue their business and lead their family to next generation. But nowadays, daughters became equally important as sons. They have the contribution in almost every field. And many times they also fulfilled the absence of a son.

To make people aware of it, we must start spreading the importance of having a girl child. There are number of possible solutions for it. Like, we can travel from village to village. We can start a small campaign to save the girl child.

To make this possible, we must share the achievements brought by the famous women personalities. We can also explain by focussing on their talents in different fields by using some everyday examples. Advertising is also one of the best way through which we can attract their attention.

Among all this method, talking to the people directly is one of the best solution. We can know their problems according to which we can act. We can also share the different work fields where women are exceeding the men. We will make them believe that girls are equally important as boys. As India is being a democratic country, people should come out of their four walls and realise the world taken up by the women.

    India from centuries has never welcomed the birth of daughter. Indian culture either treats woman as a goddess or an object, pretentiously as goddess but actually as an object. Daughters were never welcome as is evident from the blessings given by Rishis – “Ashta Putra Saubhagyavati Bhava” – “Be a Mother of 8 sons” – the blessing was never for 4 sons and 4 daughters.…

    In a perfect world there would be a family that consists of at least two children, a boy and a girl, but in India that is not the case. Women are being forced to have boys by their families. If they are pregnant and if they are carrying a girl, many women is forced to have an abortion or even miscarry all because it is not a boy. In Asian culture, it is common for the families to have a boy because the boy is the caretaker of the family when he is older. He will take care of his family as for the girl she is to be married off to another family and is no longer the responsibility of her birth family. The women are even beaten if they are not producing male children. According to the film, in India, women average about five children in their lifetime and in order for the population to become stabilized the life of women has to improve. Meaning allowing…

    According to the author, there are two main reasons why sexual disparity is widespread. First of all, the marked cultural preference for sons are significant, although not in all traditional societies. In some 'old-fashioned' societies, where the girl is deemed to join her husband’s family on marriage and lost to her parents, parents prefer to have male children, to guarantee care in their older years. The sexual disparities also tend to rise with income and education. It seems to be the case, in parts of India, that richer, and well educated families, tend to have smaller families. However, they feel more pressured to bear a son to whom the family name and wealth can be carried on through. Secondly, the spread of fetal-imaging technology and significant drop of ultrasound scan cost encourage the use of sex selection abortions. Although this type of abortion is lawfully banned, it is almost impossible to prove that an abortion has been carried out for reasons of sex selection. Therefore, there is no effective regulations to stop this behaviour.…

    It is unfortunate during war time in various areas, young girls can become victims of rape and often young girls are used as “Soldiers wives” in various foreign countries (Garbarino, Kostelny & Dubrow 1998), where they are made to live in slavery and care for the soldiers every need, which includes intimate needs. This is why some of these young girls become pregnant and are then often time abandoned while the solider finds a new young female victim. Research has shown that once these young girls have babies, they seen as outcast and cannot return back to their regular family unit, due to most family members have been killed due to war zones.

    Yet, gender bias is traditional in India, with some states noted for female infanticides and female foeticides. The incidence of female foeticide is rising. I wish to argue that both are due to traditional son preference and intrinsically linked to the dowry system, which has technically been illegal since 1961 (The Dowry prohibition Act, 1961).…

    Equal Rights for Women

    The main handicap of women in India, and truly world-wide, has been that of childbirth. The bondage of reproduction has left women reliant on men for food, protection and shelter. While men are able to do work viewed as productive, women are treated as property bought and sold as chattel to reproduce. Male-domination and this view of women being owned results in young marriages; this is believed to guarantee the virginity of the girl. In India, Hindu religious leaders decreed that a girl should be married soon after the beginning of puberty, and that the age of ten is considered puberty. For Hindu girls, this means that they have little chance at education past this age, and truly many do not even receive education before. Traditional beliefs on whether women should…

    Another real fact is that, a new born baby girl is still considered as “burden” in much case and consequently they are treated with ignorance from childhood. When a male child is born everyone rejoices, but when a female child is born many seem dejected and crest-fallen, as if a tragedy has occurred. Socially, sons are preferred for continuation of family line, for looking after parents in their old age and for performing their last rites. Besides, poor parents of a daughter feel humiliated due to dowry demands when her marriage is to be settled. It is said that an “IAS officer’s dowry price is Rs.1 crore, and that of an…

    Social Evils in Pakistan

    The social evils and superstitions that had crept in the society over the centuries made social reforms imperative for the development of the society and the masses. In the 19th century, the newly educated persons increasingly revolted against rigid social conventions and outdated customs. They could no longer tolerate irrational and de-humanising social practices. Moreover, the backward features of Indian society, such as the caste system or inequality of the sexes had religious sanctions in the past. Therefore, it was necessary to reform religious practices as well.The condition of women was pathetic. The various religions practised in India as well as the personal laws based on them consigned women to a status inferior to that of men. Polygamy, Purdah system, sort, ban on widow remarriage, no education for female child, female infanticide, child marriages were some of the evils that had vice—like grip over the society. It thus became necessary to take the women out of this degraded position and help her to realise her true potential. The problems of female feoticide, sexual harassment at workplace, education are so diverse that they need sound financial backing, all these social evils centre around the petty and marginalized conditions of women in the society. We need to combat evils like the glorification of sati places as pilgrimages, dowry system, girl feoticide, decline in sex ratio, harassment of women etc. This can be achieved by educating the woman and making her financially independent.Rajasthan has been in the news recently and for all the wrong reasons. First, it was tigers disappearing, then it was a guidebook that referred to sati-sites as tourist destinations, and then it was child marriages.The legal age for marriage in India is 18 years for women and 21 years for men. Any marriage of a person younger than this is banned in India under the Child Marriage Prevention Act of 1929. But child marriages still take place in India; particularly around the…

    One of very important means of giving opportunities to young women is a changing system of education, being one of the most factors guarantying the high level of life. Nevertheless one should not forget that the type of school is still important, altogether with the care and upbringing received at home. Having all these advantages available, women have free choice whether to have children or not, thus being a single mother is no longer any issue when there is enough money to deal with everyday life alone. Moreover, women are being now encouraged to earn money for living just to avoid a need to rely on husbands or partners.…

    Causes of Female Foeticide

    As Justice YK Sabharwal, Chief Justice of India, rightly says (in his speech about Eradication of Female Foeticide, delivered in Patiala on December 17, 2006), that “Investing in a daughter they say is like ‘watering your neighbour’s lawn.’” A boy shall grow up to be the head of the family, and he shall offer a sense of security to his aging parents – take care of them, serve them and take over the responsibility of running the family. He shall also continue the name of the family (whereas, the girl shall take up her husband’s last name). A male is considered to be a producer, whereas a female is considered to be a consumer. All this is mainly due to the patriarchal…

    In olden days there was a conservative society. People gave more importance to boys as compared to girls. According to them boys were the pride of their family and were given more importance as they had to go outside and had to do a job and thought they needed more care and more strength. A girl child was considered a curse as parents had to give them dowry on their marriage, neither were they given education as they had to live inside their house and take care of their younger brothers and sisters and do household work. During that time people were proud of having large families and also importance was given to a boy child in the family. As a result most of the families suffered through poverty.…
