Introduction
The existence of human life is only possible with the equal participation of both men and women as they both are equally responsible for the survival of the human race on this planet Earth. Equal participation of both genders is liable for the growth of a nation and the existence of women is more important than men. The fate of civilization lies in the hand of girls and they are the root of creation. During their lifespan, the women play the major role as a daughter, mother, mentor, sister, wife, aunt, and grandmother.
Girls of today are the women of tomorrow. To achieve true women empowerment it is important, to begin with, a girl child. As aware citizens, we all must encourage society to work for women’s empowerment and stop female infanticide.
The mindset that a girl is a liability must be changed at the grass-root level and spreading awareness is a must. In this, the role of education is important here and goes a long way in empowering women. More and more girls must be sent to school and provided with quality education, healthy food, equality, freedom and of choice, and holistic education. Educated girls can make the right decision in life and if in the society both the genders are well educated we will see a decreased level of poverty, and more participation of women in socio-economic processes for better growth and development. If a woman is educated the entire generation gets benefits.
Girl Child Need To Be Saved!
Society desires for ideal mother, wife, sister, and daughter, but how it can be possible if the girl child is killed in mother’s womb, and if they are born they are discriminated lifetime, not given good nutritious food, and even not provided with necessary education that fuels their overall physical & psychological growth and development. Many social evils in society force parents to avoid having a girl child and other social evils are those who are responsible for causing dowry.
Bring The Change!
Women empowerment and education are the two main factors that can stop these ill practices of discrimination against girl children and can create a healthy society with equal rights for both genders.
Girls Can Bring The Change!

The girls should be saved and given equal opportunity and respect to go ahead, and in this novel path, every citizen must participate to ensure that girls are allowed to be born and flourish in life. There is a very urgent need to change the archaic mindset of the patriarchal society that takes a girl as a liability and it needs to be established that girls are no way less than boys. Both genders together with equal rights and freedom can boost self-development; bring positive change in the society and the growth of the national economy.
