Stark Reality:
In many communities, it's a regular practice to breastfeed
girls for a shorter time than boys so that women can try to get pregnant again
with a boy as soon as possible. As a result, girls miss out on life-giving
nutrition during a crucial window of their development, which stunts their
growth and weakens their resistance to disease. This is happening in all the
societies and culture around the globe since time immemorial. Women have
faced discrimination be it nutrition ,education, job opportunities or in the
societal norms as a whole.2/3rd of the world’s 900 million illiterates are
women which has led to feminization of poverty due to obvious reason being
illiterate and lagging behind men in acquiring suitable knowledge in the arena
of income generation.
The only solution of this stark reality is education, key to
gender equality which strengthens a women ability to grow, to reduce poverty
and to provide healthy & better life.

population of our society. In this process of transformation, we seek your
