The objective of save the girl child, educate the girl child program is to provide security to the existence of daughters and to increase the birth rate of daughters. Female femicide has to be stopped, therefore female femicide is a legal offense outside every hospital, this sentence is seen. To end exploitation against girls and make them self-reliant.

 Women make up almost half of the total population of India, but they still lag behind men in a lot of sectors, so much so that a lot of females are not even allowed to take birth. Uplifted of women won’t happen if issues like illiteracy, inequality, harassment, and female infanticide are not looked into. Keeping this in view, the Government of India introduced the (Save daughters, educate daughters) scheme.

With these objectives, the program aims to achieve the outcomes of ending female infanticide and femicide in India. It is important to look at for the benefit that (SAVE DAUGHTER EDUCATE DAUGHTER) India’s most high profile campaign to empower the girl child, has had.

49 of the 100 districts covered under the program registered a positive trend in Ratio at Birth (SRB) in 2016, as per Minister for Woman and Child Development. This is a refreshing change, compared to the steadily declining figures of the decade. The program was launched in announced in 2014, the program was formally launched in January 2015 in Haryana, the state with India’s lowest SRB. Haryana has also instituted a 1 lakh Rupee bounty for reporting PCPNDT (Pre Conception, Pre Natal Diagnostic Technique) and MTP (Medical Termination of Pregnancy) Act violations. Worldwide, the normal ratio at birth (SRB) is 100 female babies for 105 male babies. India’s “normal” is 950 female babies for 1000 male babies. Donate to NGO Save the Children to fund its many programs to educate and empower the girl child.

 The program girl child education component ensures that the girl child, deprived of access to education, finds a pathway to education.

Historically, girls have been the highest demographic to drop out of secondary school, and also have half the probability of getting enrolled in schools compared to boys. With access to education comes a transformation in decision-making. Research has shown that girls who complete their high school education are less likely to experience underage pregnancy.

Today, in contrast, one million girls under the age of 15 get pregnant every year. Along with delivery-related complications, their children are born with a low survival rate of 50%. 60 million girls will lose their lives or a chance at education by 2020.

 These projects are prominently highlighted through the NGOs campaigns, in posters and public announcements, and plays on the Right to Education. It also provides infrastructure such as libraries to support education. Save the Children has enabled many rural girls to become their family’s first-generation learners, participating in national academic events. The NGO mapped out-of-school children, creating and providing gender-sensitive material that reached over 30,000 children. It also undertook community engagement to encourage families to send their girls to school.
