The Sanskrit shloka from Rigveda "यत्र नार्यन्ति पूज्यन्ते रमन्ते तत्र देवताः" (Yatra naryanti pujyantey ramantey tatra devataah) beautifully encapsulates the reverence and respect that women deserve in society. This verse articulates the idea that where women are honored, there the divine presence flourishes. In contemporary society, today’s girls are the future women who will shape our world, making it imperative to empower and respect them. The Vedas extol the virtues of women, recognizing them as embodiments of knowledge, wisdom, and strength. However, despite this rich heritage, girls often face challenges such as gender discrimination, limited access to education, and societal pressures that hinder their growth and potential.
The Cultural Club ‘Aroop’ has taken significant steps to support this empowerment journey on National Girl Child Day, that is celebrated on 24th January every year, by organizing a slogan competition among girls to inspire them to express their thoughts on strength, leadership, and empowerment. The response to the slogan competition was nothing short of inspiring. Girls came forward with excellent slogans that resonated with the themes of empowerment, resilience, and fearlessness. Their creativity and passion reflected a deep understanding of their potential and the importance of standing strong in the face of adversity. Through their slogans, they conveyed the message that strong girls lead to an empowered world, and bold girls pave the way for a fearless future. The takeaways emphasize on the importance of respecting girls and their decisions, which lays the groundwork for a more empowered and equitable society.
