Celebration of Girl Child Day
“When we want a mother, a sister, and a wife to be with us always, why not a daughter too? The choice you make today will definitely affect your tomorrow”……………..

The Vimukti charitable trust® Pothnal organized a memorable occasion of ‘Girl child Day’ at VCT center on 20th September, 2015. The guests were welcomed with due respect and honor through Indian cultural style of arathi. A meaningful session of interaction was held between the rural girls and the guest speakers. Focusing on the importance of the day chief guest in her speech said, “do what you can, for whom can, with what you have, and where you can’. And further she…..added that girl child is also God’s precious gift to the family and to the community. The boys and the girls are to be treated equally without any gender discrimination. So it is our duty as humans to uphold our rights and grow in a healthy atmosphere of self-esteem. The girl children in most of the states are deprived of education and healthy nutrition. Female infanticide or the abortion of female foetus takes place in everyday life of the society. There are many who have never experienced a carefree state of childhood as they are made to slog at houses and in the fields, in industries and elsewhere in the society.

To make the event colorful the rural village girls performed various cultural items and thus exhibited their hidden talents. Variety of games and activities were conducted in order to boost their self steam and to promote greater participation of the village girls. At the end of the day, the winners were awarded with valuable prize sand gifts. The village girls were revived in their spirits throughout the day’s events and thus they had lot of experience to carry along to their homes. They were thought to love and respect their own lives, to fight against injustice, and to live well in the society in dignity. On the whole it was a great day indeed. May there be smiles on the girl children everywhere in the society. God bless them.
