The International Day of the Girl Child 2014

MOIN UDDIN

I am fascinated by the success of women and I truly do respect them and share their life stories with others to motivate other similar ladies who have potential but have not gone through it.

They are the ones who are actual change makers. However they lack confidence within themselves. I have met lots of Women in my life. Some have accomplished huge success and some due to lack of confidence are sitting just idle cursing their own fate.

Some women were there in the past as well as in present some are doing great works. There are some women whom we can feel proud of .Melba Devi Gurung is the 1st women to record song in India in 1928 and became the 1st Nepali women to record a song. Bindeshwari Shah became the first Female ambassador and worked in India during 1989-90. Dwarika Devi Thakurani was appointed as a 1st female minister of Nepal in 1960. Rakshya Rana, at the age of 24 she became the 1st Nepali lady to fly in the air also she is the 1st Nepali Women Pilot of Nepal.

Today we are going to celebrate 'International day of a girl child' as since October 11, 2012, it has been officially marked this day to raise awareness on various issues related to girls.

The International Day of the Girl Child initiative began as a project of Plan International, a non-governmental organization that operates worldwide. The idea for an international day of observance and celebration grew out of Plan International's Because I Am A Girl campaign, which raises awareness of the importance of nurturing girls globally and in developing countries in particular. Plan International representatives in Canada approached the Canadian federal government to seek support for the initiative. A coalition of supporters raised awareness of the initiative internationally.

Despite trying our best efforts we are still facing severe problems. Time and again many brutal cases regarding women are being heard. Our women's are being raped, molested as well as sold to brothels and also they are beaten up severely if they do not agree with their in-laws, mostly these cases are of the ones who are illiterate and who are conservative minded who doesn't want to explore the right path by dong findings and research with logics.

Lots of organizations are raising concern regarding empowering women. And that it is for their betterment.

But, what if, when women herself doesn't start her career or stay positive? What if, she only thinks her life is very useless? I cannot do anything in my life? I am born to face difficulties only?

So it's a matter of concern for every one of us to counsel those ladies mentally. Only raising voices in the auditorium or say in any other streets won't help those ladies to start their life with courage and determination. Suitable Jobs should be created for them and also their interest has to be nurtured, by doing so we can at least help them to believe in their own strengths. Let's contribute from our side to help our ladies to achieve success in their life. This will ultimately help us and help Our Nepal to prosper, economically as well as globally.

Passion has to come from within, if a woman has a burning desire to change their present status into something courageous and beautiful with devotion in her work than, surely she'll chive the success in her life. The main problem I have seen in them s the hesitation, will I be able to do that work? Will people appreciate my works? If she believes in her dream and come out from the comfort zone then yes, other will also come to help and her and try to shine their dreams, only if she truly has a passion from working to make positive changes.
