Girls are as important as boys in the society to maintain the social balance. A few years ago, there was a huge deficit in the number of women compared to men. This happened because of increasing crimes against women like female foeticide, dowry death, rape, poverty, illiteracy, gender discrimination and many more.
To equalize the number of women in the society, it is very important to tell people that the girl child should be saved. Government of India has taken some positive steps regarding saving girl child like protection of women from domestic violence act 2005, female foeticide, Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act, proper education, gender equality, etc.
Save Girl Child is now an important social awareness topic regarding saving girl child across the country. Following are several effective measures, by which the girl child can be saved to a great extent. There is a huge level of poverty in the society which is a major reason for illiteracy and gender inequality in the Indian society.
Education is an important element in reducing poverty and gender discrimination as well as improving the status of the girl child and woman in the Indian society. According to statistics, it is found that female literacy is continuously decreasing in Odisha where girl child is not able to get education.
Education is closely related to employment. Less education means less employment which gives rise to poverty and gender inequality in the society. Education is the most effective step to improve the status of women as it makes them financially independent.
Save girl child step is taken by the government to ensure equal rights and opportunities for women in the society. Bollywood actress (Parineeti Chopra) has been the official brand ambassador of PM's recent scheme for girl child (Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao).
The status of the girl child in the Indian society is backward because of the excessive desire of the parents for the boy child. This has created gender inequality in the society and it is very necessary to remove it by bringing gender equality. Extreme poverty in the society has created social evil against women in the form of dowry system which worsens the status of women.
Usually parents think that girls are only to spend money, so they commit female feticide in many ways before or after birth (female foeticide, dowry death etc.). There is an urgent need to remove such issues to save the girl child.
Illiteracy is another issue which can be removed through proper education system for both the genders. Empowering women is the most effective tool to save the girl child. People should be made aware through some effective campaigns about saving the girl child.
A girl child is unsafe inside as well as outside the mother's womb. She is feared in many ways during her life with all the men she gives birth to. She is ruled by the men she gives birth to and it is completely a laughing stock and a shame to us.
Education is the best tool to bring a revolution to save and respect the girl child. A girl child should be given equal access and opportunities in every field. There should be security arrangements for girls in all public places.
To make the girl child campaign successful, the family members of the girl child can be better targeted
