LGBB –III project
Since 2005, Plan India in partnership with various grassroots NGOs have been working on issues related to the survival of the girl child and declining child sex ratio in northern states of India. In this context, Kopal[1] project was initiated by facilitating the network of civil society organizations across Bihar, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand. Learning from the project helped
The Plan International global campaign Because I Am a Girl (BIAAG) which was launched during May 2007. BIAAG Campaign emphasised on girls across the world being equipped, enabled and empowered to achieve their full potential. Later, in 2010 Plan India’s Let Girls Be Born Project was launched across 6 Northern States with the focus on creating awareness against female feticide through the enforcement of the PCPNDT Act for prevention of sex-selective elimination through misuse of technology and celebrating girl childhood.
Presently, Plan India from 2018 to 2020 is continuing its efforts to address the pre and post birth discrimination against the girl child through the Combating Discrimination-Worst forms of discrimination against girls, Let Girls Be born Phase III project.
The Context
India is the second largest country in the world with a population of 1.20 billion people of which approximately 48% are females, 42% are below the age of 18 years. As mentioned in the Global Gender Gap report published by World Economic Forum in 2008, girls and women in India continue to face severe discrimination that does not allow them to realise their full potential. Gender inequities are reflected in the differences of sex ratio, foeticide, violence against women, literacy rates, health and nutrition, wage differentials and ownership of land assets. Only about half the women (53%) participate in household decision making. The working group on development of children for the Eleventh Five Year Plan of India identifies various forms of discrimination against the girl child beginning in the womb and until young adulthood. The report further states that efforts should be focussed on four ‘E’s:- Equality, Education, Enabling Environment and Empowerment.
India ranks at 113 among 130 countries. In absolute terms, in India approximately 50 million girls are missing from the total population. The reasons attributed to the missing girls are practices of sex selection and related abortions.
The Census of India Report, 2011 highlighted the continuing trends of an adverse under-six child sex ratio. The data reported 919 female children for 1000 males, an area of great concern. The total number of children in the age group of 0-6 years is 158.8 million, 5 million less since 2001.[1] Twenty states and Union Territories now have over one million children in the age group of 0-6 years. On the other extreme, there are five states and UTs that are yet to reach the 100,000 mark.[2]
The percentage of children aged 0-6 years to total population has declined in 2012 (13.1%) over 2001 (15.9%). In 2011, based on a study undertaken by UNFPA, it was estimated that there were 117 million girls missing from Asian Countries owing to female foeticide. The Centre for Global Research Study of 2011, estimated that 12 million girls were aborted in India during 1980-2011. Nine states account for most of these cases, Punjab and Haryana accounting for largest number of girl child eliminations through these abortions.
The reasons for not preferring a girl child are socially and culturally rooted. Patrilineal property transfers, religious and ritualistic practices, patriarchal social structures in favor of boys; societal beliefs that view girls as a burden, cost, danger to family honors and dignity work against the desire of having a girl child are some of the reasons for discrimination against the girl child. Strong son preference is seen as an issue of prestige and social standing, advancing family, old age support, performing last rites, and inheritance. Girls on the other hand are at a disadvantage and considered a burden, including issues to educate them-as they will go to another family, marriage and dowry.
In India to address the issue of missing girl children and to control the misuse of the technology for Pre birth Sex Selection and Sex Determination a statutory act, Pre-conception and Pre-natal Diagnostic Techniques (PCPNDT), (Prohibition of Sex Selection) Act l994 has been constituted. It is a central act applicable in all the states of India, except, Jammu & Kashmir.
The child sex ratio (CSR) in Jharkhand has also reached to alarming level.
Thus, PC&PNDT Cell working under Dept. of Health & Family Welfare wanted to develop an Standard Operating Procedure or Reference Guideline for Govt. functionaries including District/Sub- District Appropriate Authorities and Nodal Officer at different level for ensuring a handy tool support for effective implementation of PC&PNDT and its rule.
Plan India being a designated technical partner to Dept. of Health for Gender & PC&PNDT has been requested for TA support in developing the same. YUVA is Plan India’s grass root Partner in Jharkhand to facilitate such assignments and other community initiatives.
