More than 2000 women gathered and raised their voice for the Rights of the Women. They took out rallies in Delhi and Uttar Pradesh.

The community women raised their voice for "Girl Child Education and Development". All the women took the Pledge that they all will work towards this goal and also a signature campaign was done during the event.

Through various cultural programme the importance of Girl Child was performed.

One of the programme " Rakte Charitre" performed by the Ashaniketan Boys Home Children was on the theme "Female Feticide" touched the heart of all the people present there .

While watching the performance we could feel the pain in the heart of all the women's..... especially when the evil people want to kill the Girl Child in the womb almost most of them were in tears, but at the end when the women with a courage took the step forward and put all the evil people down and saved the "Girl Child"..... it touched the hearts of all who were present there.... and the women's who were watching the programme could not control themselves and with great joy they all stood and started clapping.

Through this programme a strong message reached thousands of women that Girl Child is precious and we all have to work together in saving Girl Child.

Our Partner : We thank SOIR-IM - Sweden for their support in organising this event for the development of Community Women.
