History of National Girl Child Day and What It Means
India took a big step toward equal rights for men and women when National Girl Child Day (NGCD) was created in 2008.
This day was created because it is known that girls in India face many problems, such as violence against women, child marriage, and limited access to healthcare and schooling. These problems not only stop girls from growing as people, but they also slow down the growth of the whole country.
The theme for the first NGCD was “Saving our Girls: Educating our Girls.” Since then, it has been celebrated every year with a different theme that emphasizes the need to give girls more power and help them deal with specific problems they face.
