January 24 has been declared National Girl Child Day…
To mark the day, the Ministry of Women and Child Development will launch a sustained campaign to highlight the evils of female foeticide, female infanticide and discrimination in matters of health, nutrition, education and opportunities. The importance of the girl child will be highlighted through TV spots, advertisements and announcements over telephone.
Only a day for the girl child? A token gesture or a good beginning? At the very least, good intentions? Any way…
Hers is to the girl child…
Way to go.
