Impoportance of Edaucating the girl child
s
It is rightly said, ”Educate a man, you educate one person; educate a woman, you educate a complete family.” The deep rooted gender inequality in our patriarchal society projects the girl as a liability and not an asset. But the truth is that investing in a girl’s education is investing in a nation.
Educating a girl child helps in dealing with a number of social evils. It may lead to a decrease in maternal mortality, child marriages and population explosion. Educated girls can contribute to the nation fruitfully as proactive citizens. They can raise their voices against domestic violence and sexual harassment. Malala Yousafzai has aptly said, ”One child, one teacher, one pen and one book can change the world.” So our motto should be: ’Beti Bachao Beti Padhao.’
