Every human deserves to reach her or his full potential, but gender inequalities in their lives and in the
lives of those who care for them hinder this reality. Here will consider the quotes of “Ladkiyon ko khelna
nahi chahiye, ghar sambhalna chahiye”, said the woman. “Kyoun, bhai bhi tho khelta hai”, the daughter
snapped back. “Par wo tho ladka hai na”, replied the mom. This rural culture still exists in certain parts of
India, and has no boundaries. So, “Gender equality is not only a fundamental human right, but a necessary
foundation for a peaceful, prosperous and sustainable world. Here the problem is, It is critical to enhance
the value of girls by investing in and empowering them, with education, life skills, sport and much more.
We would like to Changing the value of girls has to include men, women and boys. It has to mobilize
many sectors in society. Only when society’s perception changes, will the rights of all the girls and all the
boys in India be fulfilled.
