The patriarchal society we live in has conditioned us to view women as the weaker sex.
They are often seen as a liability, which is why most families prefer a male child. Female infanticide is a problem that has plagued our country for decades.
Spreading awareness on the importance of having a girl child is the need of the hour. In order to meet this goal, January 24 is celebrated as the National Girl Child Day every year.
The aim is to highlight the inequalities faced by a majority of the girls in the country and also to promote awareness about rights that every girl in India is entitled to.
The day also seeks to promote the importance of girl education, health and nutrition.
To mark the occasion, several people took to social media to celebrate Girl Child Day and also to raise their voice against female infanticide.
