The issue needs discussion and debate in every home on most of dining table. People should realize it as a stigma to our own society. The world of a girl child is promising yet gloomy, hopeful yet in despair. The home-maker of future, the hand that rocks the cradle, the procreator, the mother of tomorrow, a woman shapes the destiny of our civilization. From child to mother, let us build the path of her.
The decline of the girl child in India is a problem of deep rooted societal discrimination against women and girls. Despite the progress in efforts to enable girls to fully enjoy their rights, there is still a great deal of work to be done in order to achieve the objective. There are still many unresolved issues of discrimination, inequality, neglect, exploitation and violence against girls and women. Be bold to stop violence. Everyone should show their concern for the girl child. People should value that it is essential to save the girl child at any cost and intensify campaign so that the ratio of girls and boys could be made even.
Judiciary in India has declared the year 2007 as the ‘Awareness year of female foeticide.’
Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit says ‘Delhi to strengthen rules against female foeticide. The Govt. is also planning to impose a heavy fine and strict punishment for such incidents.’ Dikshit also announced the implementation of Janani Shishu Suraksha Yojna in august for safeguarding maternal and child mortality rate.
India’s child sex ratio continues to plummet indicating the female foeticide and infanticide remain rampant. Data released by the census office for 2011 shows that the child sex ratio (0-6yrs) has further declined to 914 girls for every 1,000 boys as compared o 927 in 2001. India’s North-East have much healthier attitude towards girl children than any part of the country.
