Nineteen-year-old Rajni Rathode of New Seema Puri, says, “Many parents claim that they do not discriminate against girls, but they do. I see families in my neighbourhood pay little attention to the nutritional, health and educational needs of girls. Traditional “female roles” in society leave women with little decision-making power, money, land and other assets compared to men. This situation needs to be remedied. I try and talk to families in my neighbourhood in the hope that they will attend to the food, medical and schooling needs of their daughters. The situation may remain the same but at least I can say I did try.”
