NATIONAL GIRL CHILD DAY
24th January : NATIONAL GIRL CHILD DAY
Today’s girls are the women of tomorrow.
The day in 2019 is celebrated with theme of “Empowering Girls for a Brighter Tomorrow”.
WHY NATIONAL GIRL CHILD DAY IS CELEBRATED
It is celebrated to promote the girls position in the society to make their living better among society. It is very necessary to remove different types of social discrimination and exploitation that girls generally face in their life.
It is very necessary for the girls to get full potential, safe and enabling environment. They should be aware of all their legal rights and the facts of life. They should be aware that they have the good education, nutrition and health care rights.
They should be well aware about legislations including Domestic Violence Act 2009, Prohibition of Child Marriage Act 2006 and Dowry Prohibition Act 2006 in order to get their proper rights and face all the challenges in life.
In our country, female literacy rate is still 53.87% and one third of the youngster girls are malnourished. Reproductive age group women are anemic and suffering from various other diseases just because of the gender discrimination in the society and limited access to the health services.
