महिलाएं बुरा नहीं समझतीं कन्या भ्रूण हत्या
Source: ननु जोगिंदर सिंह | Last Updated 04:54(12/02/11)
सास के वर्ग में 12 फीसदी महिलाओं ने कन्या भ्रूण हत्या को सही बताया। जबकि 78 फीसदी ने इसे न अच्छा कहा न बुरा। छोटी उम्र की महिलाएं इसे बुरा मानती हैं। 10 फीसदी उम्र-दराज महिलाओं ने इसका विरोध किया जबकि 77 फीसदी बहुओं ने। दोनों वर्ग इस बात से भलीभांति वाकिफ दिखे कि देश में लिंग अनुपात गड़बड़ा रहा है। वह इस बात के प्रति चिंतित भी दिखीं कि लिंग अनुपात गड़बड़ाने से महिलाओं के प्रति हिंसा में वृद्धि होगी। लिंग आधारित अबॉर्शन को महिलओं ने बैलेंस परिवार प्राप्त करने का जरिया बताया। वह बेटा होने को सामाजिक सम्मान से जोड़ती हैं। दहेज को वह बेटी पैदा करने में सबसे बड़ी समस्या बताते हैं। दोनो वर्ग की महिलाएं इस मुद्दे पर एकमत हैं कि बेटियों को पढ़ाया जाए ताकि वह आत्मनिर्भर जीवन जी सकें।
लुधियाना के छह गांवो में जट्ट सिख संयुक्त परिवारों की सास-बहू पर अध्ययन किया गया। यह दो आर्थिक तबके थे। 200 सैंपल महिलाओं के अध्ययन से पहले उनकी शिक्षा, परिवार, आर्थिक स्थिति का आंकलन किया गया। इसमें सिर्फ वही बहुएं शामिल की गईं जिनकी एक बेटी है और वह दूसरा बच्चा चाहती हैं।

Stop female foeticide: Patil
Source: Bhaskar News | Last Updated 22:07(07/10/10)
Amritsar: President Pratibha Devisingh Patil called for ending the inhumane practice of female foeticide in order to pave way for the country to move towards development.
The President was speaking on Wednesday at the event “Nanhi Chaon” at Khalsa College in Amritsar. Patil also pointed out that there are several other inhumane practices still prevalent in the society. She called for eliminating the difference between a male and a female child.
Chief Minister Prakash Singh Badal who was also present at the event, announced that the girl students of ninth and tenth standard in the state. The state government also plans to open new toll free helplines and counselling centres in the districts across the state. Governor Shivraj Patil and MP Harsimrat Kaur, who were also present at the event also stressed on the need to stop female foeticide.
Religions target female foeticide | ||||
The campaign is being led by well-known religious leader and social activist, Swami Agnivesh. "There's no other form of violence that's more painful, more abhorrent, more shameful," declares Swami Agnivesh. The march started in Gujarat on 1 November, the Hindu festival of Diwali. It is due to conclude in Amritsar on 15 November, the birthday of the founder of Sikhism, Guru Nanak. The campaign covers some of the areas which have the worst gender ratio in India - Haryana, Punjab, Delhi, and Gujarat. All of these states have less than 800 girls for every 1,000 boys. "The crime has come to acquire such dangerous proportions in our society that the government is feeling very helpless. They think that unless people from the world of religion come forward and join hands and march together, the problem cannot be solved," says Swami Agnivesh. He says religious leaders of various faiths, including Islam, Christianity, Hinduism and Jainism, are participating in the march. Heads nod Dressed in bright saffron robes and a saffron turban, Swami Agnivesh makes a striking picture. And in the state of Haryana, his arrival is a cause of much excitement.
Clusters of people wait by the roadside for a glimpse of the man. "If you want to save your religion, you have to save your daughter first. God created the same sun and moon for both the sexes, so who are we to discriminate against the girl child?" he asks a gathering of rural folk. Heads nod in understanding. Marigold garlands appear from nowhere, and young college girls pester him for his autograph. A decorated elephant carries him around the narrow streets in Hisar town in Haryana in a procession that lasts two hours. There are horses, hundreds of people holding saffron flags and anti-foeticide placards, and school girls carrying swords. A wedding band plays popular Bollywood numbers. The march concludes at a square in the centre of the town where Swami Agnivesh addresses a huge public rally. Travelling in Haryana with Swami Agnivesh is a Delhi-based Christian leader, Father Valson Thampu. "The attack on the foetus does not begin in the womb, it begins in the minds of the human beings. And that's why we need to change the mindsets of the people. And only a spiritual revolution can bring about this change in mindsets," says Father Thampu. Considered inferior Experts say female foeticide in India is mostly linked to socio-economic factors.
The girl child has traditionally been considered inferior and a liability. It is an idea that many say carries over from the time India was a predominantly agrarian society where boys were considered an extra pair of hands in the farm whereas a girl was considered a liability for whose wedding the parents had to shell out huge dowries. Swami Agnivesh says religion is partly responsible for the poor value accorded to the girl child. "We may or may not be able to eradicate this evil completely," he says. "But a step has been taken in the right direction. As they say, instead of cursing the darkness, let's light a candle. And that's what we've been able to do." Swami Agnives's words seem to have the desired impact on those who's come to hear him. "No mother will ever kill her daughter willingly," says Ritu Bala, a college student. "A woman goes for abortion only under pressure from her husband or her in-laws. It's wrong. I'll never do it." | ||||
बालिका दिवस का नारा (हिन्दी)
पिछले हिन्दी-दिवस पर सीमा सचदेव द्वारा लिखे नारों को पाठकों ने बहुत पसंद किया। इसी से ऊर्जा पाकर सीमा सचदेव ने ही राष्ट्रीय बालिका दिवस पर भी ढेरों नारे लिखे भेजे हैं। बहुत से पाठकों को सामाजिक जागरूकता की खातिर अभियान चलाने के लिए भी उपयुक्त नारों की आवश्यकता होती है। पढ़िए और बताइए कि कैसे हैं
१.
उस स्रष्टा की भी जननी जो
क्यों उपेक्षित कन्या वो
२.
बेटी कुदरत का उपहार
नहीं करो उसका तिरस्कार
३.
जो बेटी को दे पहचान
माता-पिता वही महान
४.
बेटी का जीवन बचाओ
मानव दुनिया में कहलाओ
५.
पुत्रों से पुत्री बढ़कर
माता-पिता की करे फिक्र
करती सच्चे दिल से प्यार
फिर उसका हो क्यों तिरस्कार
६.
जीने का उसको भी अधिकार
चाहिए उसे थोडा सा प्यार
जन्म से पहले न उसे मारो
कभी तो अपने मन में विचारो
शायद वही बन जाए सहारा
डूबते को मिल जाए किनारा
७.
हर क्षेत्र में लडंकी आगे
फिर क्यों हम लड़की से भागें
८.
दुनिया मे उसे आने तो दो
चैन से उसको जीने तो दो
करेगी वो भी ऊँचा नाम
आएगी दुनिया के काम
९.
अति उत्तम बेटी का धन
कर देती मन को पावन
१०.
जिस घर मे बेटी आई
समझो स्वयं लक्ष्मी आईं
११.
बेटी तो घर में ज़रूरी है
वो नहीं कोई मजबूरी है
१२.
बेटी-बेटे का त्यागो भ्रम
लेने दो बेटी को जन्म
१३.
बेटों से भी बेटी भली
क्यों जन्म से पूर्व उसकी बलि
१४.
बेटी को सम्मान दो
जीवन उसको दान दो
मेरी बगिया की नन्ही कली
मेरी छोटी सी बगिया की नन्ही कली
जिसकी खुशबू से महकेगी हर एक गली
मेरा प्यारा सा उपवन भी खिल जाएगा
जब कली को न्या रूप मिल जाएगा
जब बिखेरेगी अपनी वो सुन्दरता
हर तरफ झलेकेगी ऐसी कोमलता
तब बहारों को मिल जाएगी रागिनी
मेरी नन्ही कली को पा अपनी संगिनी
मेरे आंगन मे खुशबू फैलाएगी वो
फूल बन के सदा महकाएगी वो
जब नन्ही कली फूल बन जाएगी
अपनी खुशबू से विश्व को भी महकाएगी
उसकी खुशबू का होगा पूरा विश्व दीवाना
सभी अपने नही कोई होगा बेगाना
उसके हँसने से ही तो हँसेंगे सभी
दर्द दिल को सताएगा न फिर कभी

Save the girl child today for a better tomorrow
Little girls are just angels who havent yet spread their wings.
The most important gift anyone can give a girl is a belief in her own power as an individual, her value without reference to gender, her respect as a person with potential.
A baby girl....one of the most beautiful miracles in life, one of the greatest choice we can ever know and one the reason why there is little extra sunshine, laughter and happiness in your world today.
A daughter is a miracle that never ceases to be miraculous....full of beauty and forever beautiful......loving and caring and truly amazing. -Deanna Beiscer.
A daughter is one of the most beautiful gift that this world has to give. -Laurel Atherton
Courage, determination and pride....that's what little girls are made of.
In every girl is a goddess.- Francesca Lia Block
