Powerful, positive assertions through non-abstract, simple to understand and
thought-provoking original work will be preferred.

will certainly carve a way towards greater public awareness and a more conscious,
informed and sensitive society.

Here and now issue: Convey a sense of urgency
|
|
|
|

|
|
|

Equality is the mantra: Focus on the equality mantra --- bring out how neglect and discrimination lead to an unequal status for the girl child.
|

|
|
Value the girl child: She deserves equality of opportunity and is not a liability.
|
|
|
|
Equal access to opportunity and resources: Highlight equal access to education, health, employment and productive resources of land and property
