The United Nations has declared 11th October as
International day of the girl child. The
girl child faces discrimination from in utero.
The birth of the girl is unwanted and woman is not treated as
human. In this world, I feel, every rule
and law is framed by man. Only man
decides what is good for woman. Some
people, in the name of religion, want to make woman completely subservient to
man. They think that the duty of woman
is to feed and bed man. Her body is
meant to provide services to man and act as birthing machine. They do not think that the body of woman has
brain which can think and wants to act independently. A woman acting independently is a threat to
society of men and needs to be eliminated.
A kid, who wants to get educated and advocates education to girl children,
becomes the target of fanatics.
All religions teach love, tolerance and peace. But people in the name of religion kill
people. Even kids can’t escape their
wrath. Young or old who work for the
betterment of human race are godly. I
pray for the speedy recovery of Malala Yousafzai.
