Speech On Girl Child Education

Girl Child Education and Empowerment: where has it left the boy child and society?

I would like to start with the very famous saying; ‘If you educate a boy, you are educating one person. But when you educate a girl, you educate the whole family’. In my case, where I am much more of a feminist in my own ways, I strongly believe that every child has a right to education, and when I say every child, this includes every girl child as well.
Education is extremely important for every child today, regardless of boy or girl difference. But it is really devastating how many communities and side groups bring about gender differences with a set mind and discriminate against the education of girls.
Education is highly beneficial and has a very strong and positive impact in our daily lives. An educated person is an asset for any country and their economy. Education takes people places, as it helps one to think critically and make more informed decisions. It does help in bringing about many societal changes, and economical development as well.
The refusal of education to any girl child denies them their general right, denies them the knowledge and skills, which are important for their advancement in todays world.

    Girls learn not to value education and not to want it for themselves. We are taught that being pretty is the best thing a girl can be. We are told that being smart is not important, that science and math are for boys who want to build rockets. Being smart is not pretty and boys won’t like you if you’re too smart, so we learn to apply makeup, to style our hair and paint our nails. No matter how much you encourage a girl in school and remind her that she is smart, she’s still going to experience some man dismissing her intelligence or taking credit for her work or being ignored in an office meeting or being interrupted in a classroom discussion.

    Introduction Hook: Since the beginning of time, the existence of women and men has been undeniably considered as one of the integral factors that forms our society as it is today. Despite their parallel existence and contribution to the growth of the society, it was considered that women were not treated equal to men both in domestic and working circumstances, leading to a wave of movements demanding equal rights for women, known as feminism. Despite its success in claiming benefits for mistreated women in the past, recent feminism actions and point of views have gone above their original purpose, and created negative impacts and false mindset as its consequences, 2.

    Thus liberal feminists were aware of the fact that education and communication in the hands of few leads to the control of many, which again leads to subjugation and hierarchical relation (particularly with respect to women). ‘The intent of liberal feminism in education is to remove barriers that prevent girls reaching their full potential, whether such barriers are located in the school, the individual psyche or discriminatory labor practices (Aker, 1994). Liberal feminists work under broadly three themes with respect to education and these are: ‘equal opportunities’, ‘socialization and sex stereotype’, and sex discrimination (Aker, 1994). Liberal Feminism approaches equal opportunities in terms of ‘equal means the same’ (Byrne cited in Acker, 1994) and argued that ‘separate educational provisions for girls has usually meant inferior facilities and restricted features.
