Question

Speech on girls education for womens empowerment

Answer 1

Girls who belong to the families who think that girls are a burden that they have to off load to the groom & his family’s shoulders, A mindset according to which girls are considered as a mere commodity and a soul that is made to fulfill the duties others assign to her, that is the fate most of the girls meet.

When we talk about girls we talk about half of the population, half of those people who are talented, powerful, resourceful and full of energy however untapped. Souls that are equal in every aspect to the other half whom we call boys.

A lot of us may not have heard the name of a famous personality Washington Irving. But what he says is really very interesting. He says “The best Academy is a mother’s knee”. Do you all agree to it? I do. All my lessons, whether at school, or in the playground, or even at my hobby center, just all of them are reinforced, coated with all the morals & virtues that it makes a holistic sense and teaches me by my instinct what is correct way of doing something and what is not. Who makes it possible? My mother.

Who is this mother? Mine or yours or anybody else’s, she is but a girl of yesteryears. Now imagine that this very girl herself was uneducated. Think that she had never gone to any of the schools, remained at home, learnt to cook & clean and that’s it! Would you be where you are today? So yes I agree completely with Mr. Irving, Mother’s knee is the best academy. So if you want an educated generation to follow you think how important it is to educate the girls.

Why just a mother, a girl child grows up to be an officer, a lawyer, a minister, a doctor, even an army officer. There is no limit to the opportunities she has in store for her if given a chance to prove herself.

Construction of a strong building depends on its robust foundation. Likewise a strong nation is built when all its citizens are well-educated knowledgeable participants. And if we keep half of the citizens away from their personal development we have begun already to falter our plan to move further as a nation. Whether a girl grows up to be working full time, part time or becomes a home maker, she will be able to perform to her fullest abilities if she has had a sound education.

An educated girl will definitely know the importance of going to school. She will know how important it is for each one of the person in and around her must be exposed to this wonderful world filled with compassion, creativity, innovation, science, art, music, dance, yoga and so many more things that we imbibe in us when we go to a school. It gets so inter-twined in the fabric of one’s life that one is bound to benefit. An educated girl will be able to constructively contribute towards building of a strong character, not just hers, but all around her too. She can even go ahead and teach her mother, if her mother has never gone to a school. Her younger siblings can benefit from her. It is in villages that a lot of household still think it as a taboo to send their girl child out of the house to study. For them primary education is enough for their daughter to survive. But in today’s world where internet and its benefits are out-numbered and education is on the tips of everyone having an android phone, education is just a click away.

We have beautifully designed curriculum for all classes by government run programs and TVs showing teachers recorded programs on the Gyan Bharti channels that even this excuse of sending girl child out of the house seems like a bundle of lies. Not a penny is spent and you can learn so much. The children get free food, free books, money for their dresses and all the support they need.

What are we waiting for then – Educate the Girls, Build a Strong Nation.

I end my speech with the words of Helen Rice, “A mother’s heart is a child’s classroom”.

I hope this is helpful.
