SOCIO ECONOMIC AND CULTURAL DEVELOPMENT OF GIRL CHILD FAMILIES


Introduction
Now a days female infanticide and terminate the female babe at the womb are becoming a global issue.  In consequence of this situation, female ratio is decreasing.  Getting son is prioritized and people have traditionally thought that male child is heir of the family, it would carry out the last ceremony include burial or fire the parents body and break the water pots.  By this ritual male child will help the parents to enter into heaven. They also believed that male child will look after the parents at the old age.  Families and local community have ill treated and subordinated the women because they viewed that women should go for her bridegroom’s home, extra luggage for the family.  People dislike for take women for marriage from the family with more daughters, thought that it is unsecured one.  So that they always dominate it, control over the women.  It brings house hold atrocities against them.  More women were separated from their marital families.  They were abused by worst words.  When the women trespass the male control after they have enjoyed much brutal treatments, men called her disobedient and mischief.  If they lost their parents, their male kins take over all their properties and assets.

Majority of the families have lost their pleasure when they got girl childbirth.  Mother delivered daughter never get respect from the community and family both of them have avoided and treated as unwanted.  Community calls it “heir less” and “root less” family.

Own brothers and other kins teased the family that was ashamed, hided their face before neighbors.

WED TRUST thought that the persons who are ignorant, unable to response the orthodoxy values and discouraged by the community members should be identified, removed darkness in their hearts, encouraged and counseled them for right development.


Aim
