Mission Heal | Saves the Girl Child
- 1. Introduction: India is a country dominated by the male gender. Males are considered superior to women and they usually patronize women. This is a thumb-rule set a long time back and is still followed in some parts or some castes. Each sex is unique and each male or female is dominant in his/her own territory. Comparing them on the basis of a singular trait will be like comparing a bird and a fish. www.missionheal.org
- 2. Atrocities against women: In a society which has a biased mindset, especially that is male dominated, females are suffering. Looked upon like slaves, these women have to do what their husbands or father’s want. They mostly lose their right to get schooled. With a bleak future ahead, these illiterate women have to dance to the whims of their oppressors. Dowry harassments, mental torture as well as physical torture are suffered by such victims. www.missionheal.org
- 3. Female infanticide is another atrocity which has had overwhelming consequences. Female infanticide proves that how fallen your morality is. A nation with a higher percentage of genocide, no matter how rich is the poorest of all. With beliefs that only the male child can alleviate the family situation of poverty or unemployment and girls are only a liability, how can the nation or the society progress. With such false and misleading beliefs, the government as well as the people must take swift action to restore balance in the system. www.missionheal.org
- 4. Mission Heal: Many NGO’s have worked towards guiding families, women and children on the path of equality. Mission Heal is one such NGO that is working for helping these women and children. Mission Heal organizes camps as well awareness campaigns for women empowerment. Free medical check-up, donations of books and clothes are offered for the benefit of the poor. Mission Heal has many objectives which include child literacy, women empowerment as well as nature preservation. www.missionheal.org
- 5. Of all these aims, Mission Heal believes that women empowerment is the most important. They believe that it is of paramount importance to save the girl child. Educating her is also one of the NGO’s objectives. Mission Heal also creates awareness about the ill-effects of female infanticide and they educate families on how important a girl-child is. They convince families against infanticide to protect the girl child. www.missionheal.org
- 6. Believing in Her: A woman like a man is not a liability to the society but an asset. In today’s world, men and women have accomplished equal share of feats. A society or a group of people is considered morally or mentally weak, which considers women as passive creatures with no ability to do things that males can. There are many spheres of life in which women have shown greater dominance than males. But does that mean that women are stronger? The answer is NO. Each person is born with special abilities. Respect those abilities, not the gender behind it. www.missionheal.org
