Discrimination against girls in India has several sociological impacts. Debates surrounding the issue question the role of female children and seek to define their human rights, especially with the nearly universal consensus on the need for gender equality...
In Western nations women typically live about six years longer than men, but this is not true in India. Evidence shows that girls are given less food and health care than boys, especially in Northern India. Girls are breastfed for shorter periods, given less medical attention, fewer consultations and visits to the doctor, and are often taken very late to the hospital in an emergency.
Because of some culturally assigned duties, many girls miss out on the chance to improve their overall health. Miller calls this as an extended infanticide, since life sustaining necessities like food, nutrition and health care are denied to the female child. Female children are given less food, both in quality and quantity, and therefore are undernourished compared to male children. This in turn leads to health issues like anemiaand intrauterine growth restriction during pregnancy. If a woman gives birth to a female child while malnourished, then the child's survival issues and salon nutritional issues increase.
The female child's status is the product of general societal attitude towards women at large in India. Girls in India face higher risks of malnutrition, disease, disability, and retardation of growth and development. They have no access to or control over the resources because their work toward raising a family and in the household chores is undervalued. A popular Telugu saying from Andhra Pradesh says, "Bringing up a daughter is like watering a plant in another's courtyard." Due to this understanding, she is considered a liability and outside commodity and is deprived of good food and nutrition. According to a global study, India is the fourth most dangerous country for a female child in the world.
Experts often argue that women's education is the key to reducing discrimination against girls. However, female literacy rate has risen from 15 to 54%, even as the juvenile sex ratio has fallen. Some studies have shown that educated mothers are far more "efficient" in discriminating against their daughters than uneducated mothers.Other studies have shown that though higher levels of maternal education decreases infant mortality for both boys and girls, the effect is larger for girls. Thus, higher levels of maternal education decrease gender differentials in child mortality.On the other hand, there is also evidence that maternal education at the district and household levels is weakly associated with increases in female survival. At a macro level, regions with high female literacy states—Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Goa—have shown less discrimination towards girls. However, in the past 20 years, high female literacy has not stopped Delhi, Gujarat, and Rajasthan from showing increased discrimination against girls.
The female child in India is often deprived from her right of an education. The number of girls dropping out of school far exceeds the boys because girls are expected to help at home, either with household work like washing and cooking or with taking care of younger siblings. Since girls spend more time performing domestic duties and this increases the gap between female and male equality in rural parts of India, it perpetuates the myth that education is of no help to the girl and her primary job will be to look after the household work, get married early, have children and then raise them. If this is the job she has to do, then education is of no importance to her and it is not imparted. Also, even with education and financial independence, women might not get the same rights and liberties which a man may have. It is through education in the early days of a child that we can bring about behavior changes and open doors to opportunities that will enhance their confidence, personality, and career.
Often in these communities, women, in particular, are considered an inferior sex and are raised to accept this belief. Nearly 80% of the girls drop out from standards I to V. Out of the 100 girls that enroll in the first year of school, only 42 reach class V. Among Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, many of those who live below poverty line. only 19 of the 100 girls reach class V. Many of these girls work in the unorganized sectors, such as the beedi industry, which is largely home based and made up of women and girls. The beedi sector represents the gender division of labor because most of the women and girls sitting at home do the beedi making, and boys are not involved in it.
