Ensure The Participation of Girls in Education

“Educating our girls to become leaders of tomorrow” is one of the part of the “Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao” (BBBP) campaign, which is very simple and truly impact full. “More will go to school and less will sit at home. This is how India’s daughters will be saved.”  

According to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, every girl child should be educated in this country and get a highly knowledge in every field to make their future better.

While girls’ education has received some attention as a result of global advocacy, a wider view of education is needed and should include the physical, social and political circumstances in which girls are living.  Several steps need to be taken in order to give concrete shape to the Beti Bachao Beti Padhao campaign and educators in India have an important role to play.

First, education should include gender studies in the core curriculum of schools so that students examine gendered social norms critically and learn to develop egalitarian constructions of masculinity and femininity.  Boys and young men must be educated in schools to value and respect women and girls, take responsibility for the increasing violence against girls, and respect girls’ rights to their own bodies.

Girls must be empowered by their education to speak up when they are abused, protest unwanted advances and protect themselves, and to demand their right to bodily integrity and respect in and outside of their homes.
