We have always heard how India has become a developing nation. But a part of it still does not allow girls to succeed in their life. You can break this stereotype. Here’s how. 

Whenever we contribute towards the education of a female child, we promote inequality in society. Literacy is the biggest gift you can give someone as it will shape their future in the right direction. To achieve a higher sense of independence and strength, girl children must be educated. We should start giving them books, not discrimination. 

What Happens When You Contribute Towards Making A Girl Literate?

Firstly, when girl children get equal opportunities for studying, they can improve economic growth. Research proves that nations with a higher rate of literacy consist of higher gross national income. A literate child will further become a working woman who is going to have a significant contribution towards economic development. 

Literacy capacity gaps continue to hold back women from taking leadership roles. Since these are mostly related to knowledge, even your smallest contribution makes a bigger change. Women start becoming empowered when they grab these leadership qualities. 

It must also be kept in mind that education forms the basis for controlling the spread of various diseases. Moreover, it also reduces infant mortality rates. Studies suggest that an extra year of a girl’s education will reduce the risk of her children dying as an infant. She becomes more aware of her surrounding. 

Finally, imparting education can play a big role in making families sustainable. One in every three girls gets married even before reaching the legal age of 18 years. However, small efforts on educating them can lower these social taboos that are continuing for ages.
