The plight of girl-child in India
Cases of female feoticide are swelling at a fast pace. In this mad spree of slaughter, the main culprit is urban India. Haryana occupies the top slot. If they survive, they are abandoned or chucked in a dustbin or sewer. THE DISMAL national female over male ratio of 933:1000 insinuates us to take action, raise our voices, create awareness, discuss.
It may seem like beating around the bush but can’t help it. I’m back to my old time favorite. I know so much has been said and written but to my amazement all this hullabaloo didn’t even manage to raise an eyebrow. You may have guessed it girl child. The dismal national female over male ratio of 933:1000 insinuates us to take action, raise our voices, create awareness, discuss.
For starters; let me serve you some bare facts –
One out of every six girls does not live to see her 15th birthday.
Every sixth girl child’s death is due to gender discrimination.
Condition of majority of those who survive is no good, as 22 million girls below the age of 18 years are forced into marriage against their wishes many a times to males twice their age.
Female mortality exceeds male mortality in 224 out of 402 districts in India.
Unfortunately a girl is considered expendable by our society. It is we (the society) who are unfortunate not the girl. Cases of female feoticide are swelling at a fast pace. In this mad spree of slaughter, the main culprit is urban India. Our millennium cities and metros: the torch bearers of ‘shining India’. Haryana occupies the top slot. Haryana is one of the rich and prosperous states. If by luck or chance they survive the feoticide, they are abandoned or chucked in a dustbin or sewer.
The castigation that starts in the womb doesn’t stop after the birth. We think that child marriage and sati are old, rusted and retired. Unfortunately, they are accepted and practiced. In Rajasthan, sati is worshipped and encouraged. In child marriage, though the boy continues his education but the girl is deprived of her right to education. She is supposed to learn housework, also look after her younger siblings.
