Pink initiative for rights of girls

MUMBAI: Iconic monuments of the country like the Qutub Minar, Humayun's Tomb and Purana Quila in Delhi, and Charminar in Hyderabad will be lit in pink to mark the first ever International Day the Girl Child. An initiative by Plan India, a child-centered community development organisation, is to highlight and create awareness about girls' rights.

The organisation is celebrating the day as part of its 'Because I am a Girl' (BIAAG) campaign. Bhagyashri Dengle, Plan India's executive director said, "The illumination of landmark monuments is a symbolic nationwide call for all to join hands together to support girls' rights. A girl in India faces barriers at every stage of her life including violations of her right to get access to quality education, proper healthcare, and protection from abuse & exploitation. Our campaign is committed towards galvanising action to ensure every girl is able to realize her full potential."

The organisation also released key findings of 'Learning for Life' - the fourth report in its annual 'State of the Girl Child in India' series. The report focussed on building the human capital of girls through knowledge and skills, aiming to equip, enable and empower girls of all ages to acquire the assets, skills and knowledge necessary to succeed in life.
