More than 90% adolescent girl (14-18years ) are anaemic against male adolescent child of only 30%.<br /><br />If this girls in few years are married and are expectant mothers than both will be prone to anaemic and this vicious cycle continues on and on. The morsel she eats has no nutritional value; we need a strong focus and correction on this end.<br /><br /> <br /><br />State of Mah. has revealed the shocking data from 2001 it was 913 now 2011 further down to 883. This indicates various schemes related to women and child development progs. are inefficient or the implementation process a failure. We need to relook into the entire process.<br /><br /> <br /><br />We have in place PC-PNDT act but we failed to convict the unknown perpetrators of this crime. The conviction rate is hardly to a percent in entire country.<br /><br />All the state govts must act to their fullest in implementing this act.<br /><br />It is a clear case of discrimination, negligence and socio-culture attitude towards our girl child.<br /><br /> <br /><br /> GOI must bring in progs. So as adolescent girls (14-18years) get their due nutrition and health care on urgent basis.<br /><br /> <br /><br />We from the civil society are again and again advocating for Universalization of PDS and Health care, as this will erase the exclusion factor which in turn improve our overall data.<br /><br />We also need to change the mindset of our socio-political sector for giving a fair chance to our girl child<br /><br />Soheb LokhandwalaA.L.Sharadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00993992749240107685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1734252293619997031.post-37636481972796156262011-04-01T01:53:37.112-07:002011-04-01T01:53:37.112-07:00Sharing a response I recieved by e-mail from Prita...Sharing a response I recieved by e-mail from Pritam Pal on the issue. Places the issues absolutely in right perspective:<br />Dear Sharada,<br />I am also with you and today i was listening the discussion in the Lok Sabha Channel named as ASMITA. But I found that dicussions are one sided they donot address the deep down issues which are resulting this situation.<br />The discussion is on changing the mind set, but no discussion on the factors which are responsible for constructing that mind set since child hood. <br />it was also relised that globalisation has widen the gaps between rich and poor and rich do not want to share their property to other families, and giving property share to girl means sharing the property. <br />Tribals have better sex raitio but why<br />donot have private property so there is no son prefeerence<br />parental are not dependent on son in their old age<br />they do not feel any need to protect virginty of their daughters which utlimtely for protecting the inhertance and property.<br />the live in jhonpada and they vacat these houses v. easily and they do not have any registered land or house<br />commodification of women's body to sell their products is not their way of life they live on the forest products majorly<br />I feel very strongly that till the time our society and mevements does not raise the accumulation of private property and cooperates are given free hand to do so we would not be in position to make major shift.A.L.Sharadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00993992749240107685noreply@blogger.com
