Dear
Friend. |
|
| |
|
Shy.
Pert. Naughty. Bright. Cute. Adorable. All words we use
to describe little girls. The same words we use to describe
little boys. Then why do we treat little girls so differently?
Consider the 4 basic rights (survival, development, protection,
participation) guaranteed to all children by the United
Nations Convention on Rights of the Child. India has ratified
this treaty, yet girl children continue to be aborted
at birth |
|
| |
or killed soon after, just for being girls. Even if they
escape infanticide or foeticide, girl children are less
likely to receive immunisation, nutrition, education or
medical treatment than their brothers. The first round
of Census 2001 figures, just released, reveal that the
child sex ratio has worsened since 1991, from 1005 females
for every 1000 males, to 933. The figure is even less
for the age group 0 to 6 years: 927:1000. |
|
| |
Against this backdrop, it is with the interest and involvement
of people like you, that CRY is able to support NGOs like
Rachana
and Jabala,
working for the well being of the girl child. September
24 was Girl Child Day and we urge you to support the girl
child, become
an active champion for her.
In faith and goodwill

Imagine
a place where 30% of the children work instead of going
to school. Where severe drought leads to migration and
bonded labour. Where female infanticide has severely skewed
the sex ratio. Now read how CRY-supported project, CENTREREDA,
mobilised the community in Dindigul in southern Tamil
Nadu, to take charge of their lives… |
