FIRST STEP TO EDUCATE THE GIRL CHILD

Education is a fundamental right of every human being. Every single child in this world has a right to learn and to be educated. Most parents feel that only the male child of the family deserves an education and their female counterparts are deemed to learn only their domestic chores. THE RIGHT TO EDUCATION is a right provided to all children irrespective of their sex, caste, creed and social status uptil the age of 14.

ALL GIRLS HAVE THE RIGHT TO AN EDUCATION

This right is essential not only for girls to grow and learn, but also so that they are able to be independent and make their own choices in their lives.They should be given an equal chance to pursue their dreams and fulfill their ambitions just like their brothers and husbands. Most middle classes and the upper class of the society understand this necessity of educating their daughters. But, the situation in the lower classes of society is unfortunately the opposite. Girls are kept at homes till they attain their puberty and are  married off to lessen the burden of the family.


The only way to achieve a good literacy rate among the female society is to give them an equal opportunity to realize and work for their goals and ambitions.The first step:

SAFE SCHOOLS

Schools are not just places to learn and realize potential - some are also places of fear and violence. Some girls face violence at school at the hands of teachers, school staff or other students.Violence stops girls going to school. Girls must be able to pursue their education in an environment which is:

1.Safe

2.Respectful

3.Non-Discriminatory 

The Institution which is set up to educate the masses should be a safe haven rather than a place of fear and violence.              

"Give a girl an education and introduce her properly into the world, and ten to one but she has the means of settling well, without further expense to anybody. "
