The Girl Child in India She has only half as good a chance as her brothers at good healthcare, at enrolling in school, at not dropping out by Class 5. She is as interested in sports as the boys, she likes her dolls but is not beholden to become a mother and wife. In fact she wants to spend her childhood like any other child – well-cared for, fed, educated, protected, and heard. She will figure out who or what she wants to be and does not need to be pushed into marriage or any role society sees fit for her. She will choose for herself, all she needs is an enabling environment.
The doll She is a girl, she is Indian. She symbolises CRY’s fight for the rights of children.
These dolls are made by a lady who works with slum dwelling women, in Deonar, Mumbai. She teaches the women sewing, and then gives them orders, so giving them a means to livelihood.
The dolls are available as a collector's item at CRY World in a set of three. Get yours now!
Eliminate Discrimination, not the girl child.
