A Girl is Not a Burden: Celebrating the Value of Every Daughter

Introduction: The True Worth of a Girl Child

In a world where gender equality is still a work in progress, it's crucial to remember that a girl is not a burden. On the contrary, a girl child is a priceless gift from God, bringing joy, love, and endless potential to families and communities. This blog post explores the immense value of girls and why we must celebrate and empower them.

The Girl Child: A Lamp That Lights Up Every Home

Girls have a unique ability to bring warmth and light into their homes. Their presence often transforms a house into a loving, nurturing environment. Consider the following ways in which girls illuminate their families:

Emotional intelligence: Girls often develop strong empathy and emotional awareness early on, helping to create harmonious family dynamics.

Creativity: Many girls express themselves through art, music, or storytelling, adding color and vibrancy to their homes.

Nurturing nature: Girls frequently show a natural inclination to care for others, be it younger siblings or elderly family members.

Love, Care, and Resilience: The Essence of a Girl

A girl child embodies love, care, and resilience in ways that can profoundly impact those around her. These qualities manifest in various aspects of her life:

Love: Girls often express affection openly, strengthening family bonds.

Care: Their attentiveness to others' needs fosters a supportive home environment.

Resilience: Girls frequently demonstrate remarkable strength in facing challenges, inspiring those around them.

Protecting Our Girls: A Collective Responsibility

To ensure that girls can thrive and reach their full potential, we must prioritize their protection. This involves:

Ensuring access to education: According to UNESCO, 131 million girls worldwide are out of school. We must work to change this statistic.

Safeguarding their health: Providing proper nutrition, healthcare, and mental health support is crucial.

Combating gender-based violence: Creating safe environments at home, in schools, and in communities is essential.

Nurturing Happy and Thriving Girls

Keeping girls happy and thriving requires a multifaceted approach:

Encourage their dreams and aspirations

Provide positive role models

Foster self-confidence and self-esteem

Offer equal opportunities in education and extracurricular activities

Celebrate their achievements, big and small

National Girl Child Day: A Call to Action

National Girl Child Day, observed on January 24th in India, serves as a powerful reminder of our collective responsibility towards girls. On this day, we can:

Raise awareness about the importance of girl child education

Organize community events celebrating girls' achievements

Advocate for policies that promote gender equality

Volunteer with organizations working to empower girls

Empowering Girls: Building a Brighter Future

When we empower girls, we invest in the future of our world. Empowered girls grow into strong, capable women who can:

Contribute significantly to economic growth

Become leaders in their communities and beyond

Break cycles of poverty and inequality

Drive positive social change

To support this empowerment, we can:

Mentor young girls

Support girl-focused initiatives and organizations

Challenge gender stereotypes in our daily lives

Advocate for girl-friendly policies at local and national levels

Conclusion: Honoring Girls as the Heart of Every Home

As Dr. Nowhera Shaik, MD & CEO of Heera Group of Companies, reminds us, girls are the heart of every home and the future of our world. By recognizing that a girl is not a burden but a priceless gift, we open the door to a more equitable and prosperous society for all.

This National Girl Child Day, let's renew our commitment to nurturing and empowering every girl child. Together, we can create a world where every girl can thrive, dream big, and reach her full potential.

"Did you know? The beating heart 💓 of a little one gives so much information about its well-being! ❤️👶

So, what should be the ideal heart rate of the baby inside the womb?

The baby's heart ❤️ is the first organ to develop and function, which is as early as 5-6 weeks of pregnancy 🤰, and it should function by seven weeks to call it a healthy 🤰pregnancy.

Baby's heartbeats 💓 are easily seen on ultrasound scans.

The baby's heart rate ranges between 100 to 120 beats/min to begin and gradually rises to 140 to 180 beats/min towards the end of the first trimester. 📈💗

During the second and third trimesters, the baby's heart rate ranges between 130 to 170 beats/min. 📆📈

The baby's heart rate fluctuates throughout pregnancy depending on its activity; the heart rate rises if the movement is more. 📉🔄

A slow heart rate is called bradycardia if it is less than 100 beats/min. ⚠️🩺 A fast heart rate is called tachycardia if it is over 200 beats/min. ⚠️🩺 Both these conditions need immediate attention from an expert doctor."

Completed Community Mapping of the Bujovu Neighborhood in Goma, DRC 

Core to changing existing gender discrimination and violence is understanding how it is perpetuated and developing strategies to address it. Unequal access to community resources and exposure to risks and threats plays a big role. Over 120 resources and risks have been identified by us and our partner in this mapping exercise in Bujovu, home to our future program Girl Awakening. This is the first community resource scan of its kind to be done in the DRC.  In our next program steps we will utilize this map, working with our partners les Etoiles Messagères and community stakeholders to identify ways to increase access for girls to resources and services that they are not getting equal access to, and to reduce girls’ exposure to the risks. 

Among the resources identified are:  

25 schools (just 2 of these offer secondary level education and the rest are primary which is an extremely low number for the total neighborhood population of 48,000).  

9 health centers, though none are hospitals, so are only able to treat minor health issues.  

An office of the community chef appointed by the local government who hold weekly meetings with leaders at the sub-neighborhood level.  

7 factories:  there are several big companies that have factories in the neighborhood producing things such as cement, coffee, cigarettes, and corn flour.    

12 churches and 1 mosque

1 cultural center - not yet providing any programming to youth or specifically girls in the neighborhood.  

Among risks identified are: 

The most prevalent are brothels. 23 have been identified - meaning there are just as many (and likely more) brothels than primary schools in the neighborhood.  Most (14) are located in a section of Bujovu called the Cellule Tyazo, where we will be recruiting girls from.   

5 military camps, that while being responsable for security can be a threat to girls for transactional sex or other forms of extortion.  

1 police station that similar to the military camps can be a threat to girls for transactional sex or other forms of extortion.  

We’re looking forward to strategizing with community leaders, girls and staff on how to shift existing access to resources and services, reforming systems to increase equal access, and protect girls from risks and threats. 

A special thanks to the Population Council’s technical support and the les Étoiles Messagères team members and community stakeholders who walked all over the neighborhood to locate the GPS points.
