LAADO{THE GIRL CHILD}

BE PROUD TO BE A WOMAN

2010-03-08T03:59:00.000-08:00

1) Don't Become Like Men: Every woman was born with innate qualities and natural abilities that men simply don't have. Be proud of and nurture these attributes, intuitions, talents, personalities, and desires. Be a woman, and realize you naturally are tender, gentle, nurturing, patient, thoughtful, unselfish, approachable, and loving. Unfortunately, all too often our culture convinces women that somehow being gentle, kind, or motherly is somehow inferior or not viewed as successful. Wrong! Women can still compete, lead, and be successful in the work place and anywhere without foregoing their womanly attributes. More importantly, never forget the positive influence a 'woman's touch' can have on children, men, and society.

2) Are You Pornography: Generally speaking, men struggle much more with this modern slavery and addiction we call pornography. And yet, we continue to try and find solutions to the problem, without addressing the problem. Yes some solutions are good, such as: teaching men to control their thoughts and become more self-disciplined; attacking the porn industry; passing legislation; having pop-up blockers or 'talks' with our sons; etc. However, perhaps the solution to the problem is actually teaching our daughters and women everywhere not to dress, act like, and become pornography themselves. Unfortunately, the reality is that pornography, immodesty, and infidelity will continue to dominate our culture and media - because it makes money. But that is no excuse for any woman to justify immodesty, virtue, and purity simply because the masses are doing it or because it pays well.

3) True Beauty: True beauty is not found in the reflection of a mirror, it comes to those who seek to be honest, happy, and pure. And yet our culture engrains into the minds of women everywhere that to be beautiful, one must load their face with makeup, benefit from plastic surgery, and be as immodest and immoral. The word 'hot' has unfortunately replaced the word 'beautiful' - and not only do they have completely different definitions, one connotes selfish lustfulness, while the other radiates goodness, purity, unselfishness, and true happiness. With that said, please don't get me wrong - I feel it is extremely important for every woman to seek to be 'beautiful.' They need to do their hair, put makeup on, wear nice clothes, and seek to be attractive; but, ensure in so doing that they are becoming truly 'beautiful' - and not just 'hot.'

4) Is the TV a Babysitter and Influencer: To you mothers - how much time do your children spend in front of the TV? To women everywhere - how much time do you spend in front of the TV? An honest answer to these important questions will reveal much about ours and our children's character, and who it is being shaped by. Children need mothers, love, and attention - not electronics! Thus, turn off the TV a little more and make time for your children. Lastly, to women everywhere - perhaps one of the greatest solutions to overcoming the self-esteem issues, eating disorders, gossiping habits, comparing and worrying, and unhealthy images of worth and beauty that every woman struggles and deals with would be solved if they turned off the TV and put down the magazines a little more often.

5) Be Yourself ... Don't Be Plastic: Be proud of, content with, and confident in who you are. Women everywhere need to stop picking up the magazines, looking at the advertisements, and watching the TV shows and movies and comparing themselves to these models and actors. Usually, the majority of these models, actors, and women in the magazines and on TV are all fake and plastic anyway. They load their faces with make-up, have countless plastic surgery's or excess weight removed, stand under perfect lighting, and then the company air brushes the photo/picture anyway to make them look even more beautiful (fake and unnatural). I know it is easier said than done, but happy is the woman who can be proud of and confident in who they are, and not compare themselves to other women - whether it is the woman on the magazine cover or the neighbor down the street.

6) Put Family First & Develop Character: Success in life should not be determined by the amount of education we obtain, the cars we drive, the achievements in our career, the awards won, the house we own, the friends or connections we have, or the clothes we wear. True success should be measured by the attributes we develop, the person we become, and the people we help. Thus, no matter what a woman accomplishes or obtains, it means nothing if she fails in her own person life, in her home, or with her family.

7) Be Educated & Contribute to the World: With everything that has been said, let me be clear about one thing - in all of this important advice to women, in no way am I suggesting that women should be bare foot, changing diapers, cooking meals, doing laundry, confined to the house, and thus ignorant to the world. Quite the contrary! Although family and children should most certainly be the priority, women should and must also be involved, educated, leaders, and contributors to society. Whether a stay at home mother, a teenage daughter, an elderly woman, or a woman in the work force - women have value, brains, skills, ideas, and talents that must be shared to benefit communities, businesses, minds, nations, families and mankind.

8) Demand That Men Treat You Respectfully: Regardless of what our culture and the media portray, and despite the fact that men generally have stopped treating women like women, this does not negate the fact that you are a woman who deserves respect. While men must do better about treating women with respect in their thoughts, words, and actions - women can also do more in demanding this proper respect in an appropriate way. It starts with you personally respecting yourself, your body, your virtues, and your natural - and wonderful - womanly attributes. And then it continues by demanding that men not treat you like a sexual object, but as a woman to be loved and respected.

9) Stop Gossiping, Comparing, & Worrying: Easier said than done, right! However, this vitally important advice is one of the key ingredients to experiencing happiness as a woman. This is an ability and attribute that is certainly not developed overnight, and it takes effort; but, the moment you can stop gossiping with and about others, comparing yourself to other women, and worrying about things out of your control (or things not needing to be worried about) - it is then you will experience real peace, limited stress, self-worth, and true happiness.

Again, never forget that true beauty in a woman is not found in the reflection of a mirror, it comes only to those who seek to be honest, happy, and pure. Each of the principles described above essentially communicate this same message - that character is far more important than appearance. Should this suggest that women thus need not worry about their appearance? Absolutely not! Women must make an effort to exercise, eat healthy, be educated, be involved, be informed, and be beautiful also. But they should also remember that purity and modesty is far more attractive than excessive make up, immoral actions, and revealing clothing. They should realize that in most cases, surgical procedures to enhance or tuck (or whatever) not only communicate that plastic is more beautiful than purity, but that self-worth is determined by appearance and the opinions of others rather than an inner confidence of who God created us to be. They should also realize that being educated and informed is far more important than wasting time in gossip and celebrity magazines. And perhaps most importantly, women everywhere should never forget the absolute honor, necessity, and beauty of being a mother, wife, daughter, and woman who radiates self-confidence, happiness, and purity!

WHO IS RESPONSIBLE

"Today my maid's three year old son died"

She is just 18 years old and had two kids,one of them died of illness today.And she is another pregnant with her third child.She got married when she was 15 years old.Her child was very weak right from his birth.Who is responsible for this child's death.Didn't he deserved to live.what was his fault.So many girls are still getting married at the age of 14-15 years.Soon after their marriage they are forced to give birth to the babies.No one think about their weak body and their age.Please stop all this.Can anyone do anything for this.

THIS HAS TO BE STOPPED ANYHOW.

RAKSHABANDHAN

2009-08-04T02:52:00.000-07:00

THE FESTIVAL OF RAKHI IS APPROACHING AND THE PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD ARE FULL OF EXCITMENT AND ENTHUSIASM.BUT THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE KILLED THIER DAUGHTERS BEFORE BIRTH,WHT ARE THEY GOING TO DO THIS RAKSHABANDHAN.

Rakhi festival symbolize the eternal love and affection which holds the brother-sister relationship since ages and has become the true spirit of this relationship. The occasion provides an opportunity to recall those people which are here to make our life heaven. It acknowledges the festivity of moments by tying a sacred thread of protection embellished with the love and affection of a sister for her brother.
Raksha Bandhan is a special occasion in India which seeks to celebrate the relationship between a brother and a sister. The essence of Rakhi festival lies in the pure heavenly relationship shared between a brother and a sister. Different parts of India celebrate this festival differently yet the ritual of tying rakhi to seek protection remains the same all over the country.
Having a sister is like having a best friend you can't get rid of. You know whatever you do, they'll still be there.

Sisters are for sharing laughter and wiping tears.

Sweet is the voice of a sister in the season of sorrow.

A sister is a little bit of childhood that can never be lost.
Sisters don't need words. They have perfected a language of snarls and smiles and frowns and winks - expressions of shocked surprise and incredulity and disbelief. Sniffs and snorts and gasps and sighs - that can undermine any tale you're telling.

More than Santa Claus, your sister knows when you've been bad and good.
Whatever you do they will love you; even if they don't love you they are connected to you till you die.

She is your mirror, shining back at you with a world of possibilities. She is your witness, who sees you at your worst and best, and loves you anyway. She is your partner in crime, your midnight companion, someone who knows when you are smiling, even in the dark. She is your teacher, your defense attorney, your personal press agent, even your shrink.
PARENTS PLEASE STOP KILLING DAUGHTERS,AT LEAST FOR YOUR SONS.

A CURSE BY A FEMALE FEOTICIDE

2009-07-06T11:55:00.000-07:00

(Female feticide: Where my only fault is that I am a female/girl child, if I had been a male, I would have survived......)

Those who kill me
While in womb (only because i am a female)
Are not the killers
Killers are those
Who killed me For the want of dowry
After i was born!
May god!
With a sharp kinfe
All of them be torn!

Those who kill me
While in womb
(only because i am a female)
Are the cowards
Are the selfish
Are the helpless May god!
Take away their power of reproduction
So that To them
No child is born
No child is born!

And upon my death
Whether Inside the womb
Or Outside the womb
Not the killers!
Not the cowards!
Not the selfish!
Not the helpless!
Should mourn!
(After reading this poem on a website, a lady expressed the desire to adopt a girl child from such people to save at least one female baby from this kind of feticide

SHE IS THE GODDESS

2009-05-26T07:17:00.000-07:00

She is a goddess to be worshipped. She is mother of nation that sustains the very breath of humanity. How can anyone even think of killing herand that too before her birth?We will fetch what we have sowed, For those who have killed their daughters {godesses} they will go through the same fate. B Unless India gives women a chance to survive, it would fail as the world’s largest democracy.

GIRLS ARE THE MOTHER OF THE NATION

2009-05-23T09:29:00.000-07:00

India is growing dynamically in every fields. Today, the boom in economy, innovative technologies and improved infrastructure has become nation’s pride. The country has witnessed advancements in all fields but bias against a girl child is still prevailing in the country.

A girl is
Innocence playing in the mud,
Beauty standing on its head,
and Motherhood dragging a doll by the foot.

LETS SAVE LAADO(THE GIRL CHILD)

2009-05-23T05:05:00.000-07:00

Today a girl child is several times more likely to be eliminated before birth in India than die of various causes in the first year of her existence.
killing a girl before birth and after birth is not the only issues with a girl child in India. Actually at every stage of life she is discriminated and neglected for basic nutrition, education and living standard. When she is in the womb, she is eliminated before she can enter the world. If by chance she takes birth then at the time of birth this society pull her back and wrung her neck and after killing her she is thrown into a trash can. If she gets lucky to survive from all this inhumanity, then her childhood is not more than a punishment with her brother getting all the attention with new shoes, dresses and books to learn while she is gifted a broom, a wiper and lots of tears. In her teenage, she misses nutritious food to eat and gets only the left over crumbs.And by chance if she go for studies, during the age when she should be in college she is hurriedly "married off" leading to conditions where she remains ever dependant on others for her survival. She does not have either social or economic independence. Further her illiteracy, lack of education results in unwanted and early pregnancies, high fertility rate. This further effects the overall condition of females in the country. Again if this female gives birth to a girl child, the whole journey cycle of murder and discrimination begins all over again.
Although sex determination and sex selection is a criminal offence in India, it changes nothing. Private clinics with ultrasound machines and other latest technologies are doing brisk business. Everywhere, people are paying to know the sex of an unborn child and paying more to abort the female child. The technology has even reached remote areas of the country through facilities like mobile clinics. People are getting sex determination done even for the first child.
"Equality is a fundamental right," but where is the gender equality when one million girl are killed every year before birth itself. Therefore we need to understand the fact that our situation is really alarming and it is the high time to do something effective to stop this.

ABORTION BY WORKING WOMEN

2009-05-23T04:59:00.000-07:00

The reasons stated behind the abortions by working women are: They want a small family; they want better career prospects; they want a male child and they do not want daughters. Many of these women justify sex selection and abortions because they think that if they deliver a baby boy then they are looked upon in the family. Also, they do not want their daughters to suffer the hardships a girl has to face. Besides that they find themselves unable to afford the dowry expenses the parents of a girl child have to bear. "Since maintaining the high living standards has become so expensive, who will save for her?" say modern mothers. These are the 'serious' reasons these literate and modern women give for not giving birth to a girl child. But they are forgetting that had their mothers thought the same way, they would have also met the same fate.
The main problem is that if women themselves become the party to problem then how can we think about finding the solution?
Another ironical problem of laado is the dowry demands and torchure given to the daughters for that.Today, parents don't even want their daughters to study higher as a well-educated groom is likely to demand more dowry.

DOWRY

2009-02-21T05:55:00.000-08:00

Dowry is a big issue for the urban INDIA because the amount which people are expected to pay as dowry is very high. Aside from the costs of dowries and marriages, there are other reasons why daughters are seen as less desirable like there is general belief that sons will look after their old parents and daughters are anyway to go to a different household and are therefore of not much use in the long run. The social and cultural settings are negatively biased against women. After marriage, a woman traditionally lives with the family of the husband, leaving her own parents to be looked after by a son, if there is one, in their old age. Sons carry on the family name and often the business, usually inherit the property and perform the last rites. All these contribute towards a negative bias against the girl child even before she takes birth.
Awareness in the society
We have to make aware the society about the pitiable state of LAADO in the Indian society of which abortion and killing of the BITIYA is most cruel one.
Achievements of the successful women different fields of the society as well as from different walks of life need to be highlighted to change the attitude of the society against women.
It's high time we all pull up our socks to help save the girl child as time is really running out for the girl child in India. The disastrous consequences of what is happening today will vanish out daughters from the country. Therefore to prevent a horrible future the need of the hour is to realize our responsibilities and give a halt to this evil crime of killing the girl child in the womb itself. A determined drive can initiate a spark to light the lamp and show the world that we indeed are the land of the great goddesses and mothers. A small step today will definitely lead to a giant leap tomorrow.
