Let every girl child educate to kill the demon of gender discrimination in the society.

few months ago...I joined a campaign to teach children of slum area's of my city... And My NGO "Mission Samvedna" with all the members join together.. we took classes for one month. in the same slum area.

there i analysed that parents of girls child were not allowing them to come outside for the class.. we just tried a lot to talk to them. but they were always disinterested to interact with.. but as we continued the class. The girls started coming to join the class. we asked them why you ppl were absent these days. so girls said my mother forces me to prepare food at the time of class... so today we prepared food early just to attend the class.

this positiveness just throbbed my heart.. and then we tried to help some of the girl child who were interested to educate themselves. So we got their admission done in government schools near by.

However, still now the female education is not given much importance in many parts of India. Some of the reasons are dowry, child marriage, caste system and purdah system prevalent in the society. Many people in the rural areas believe that a girl is a 'paraya dhan' and money would be needed during her marriage to be given as dowry. Thus, investing the money for her education is regarded as waste.

If you kill a girl child, you kill a woman of future. Who will give birth to you?
