SAVE GIRL CHILD

Welcome to the world of the girl child, promising yet gloomy, hopeful, yet in despair. The hand that rocks the cradle, the procreator, the mother of tomorrow; a woman shapes the destiny of civilization. Such is the tragic irony of fate, that a beautiful creation such as the GIRL child is today one of the gravest concerns facing humanity, with a volley of summits, conferences and events held for the cause, with topmost world leaders at the helm.

  
Traditions and rituals outline the existence of the Indian girl child. Amidst uproars of gender equality and law enforcement, female infants are still found dumped in trash, by the dozens, while unborn fetuses continue to be sniffed in the womb. Wrought with discrimination and prejudiced by rituals, our society has dealt the girl child a rough hand, starting even before birth, till the dark of life.
At CARE & HELP we show you the world from the eyes of a girl child, bright but unprivileged, twinkle in the eye, but remorse in the spirit; the Indian girl child, a picture of dismay.

The society is meant to be the most vital support system of a human being. It is shame then, that in a developing country, such norms of the society itself have victimized and endangered the very existence of the female child in India.
We give you an insight into the most crucial reasons:
Menace of dowry
Fear of loss of face in local community
Desire to keep the wealth within the family, through sons
Fear of dependence of the girl on the family, for life
Attempt to control family size
Wish to appease Gods in times of crisis
 

SOME FACTS
