The first person to whom the newly married couple consults is a doctor…The first person who can play a role of counselor to save girl in India is a doctor…And so without involvement of doctors…Mission save the girl child has no bright future.
How can one forget that medical profession has played the key role to promote two kids family norms in society. How one can neglect the ongoing efforts of nursing staff for promoting eligible couple for family planning operation and for all various family planning activities.
Is it not sad to try…and to find the solution to social and health related issue with out the help of health related person in society?
This was the remark made by a dedicated senior Doctor from Mission save the Girl.
Exceptionally few sonologist and obstetricians were involved in prenatal sex determination and female foetal termination and due to this reason the whole medical profession is being targeted and treated like professional culprits…This is just unfair…He added.
The foetus of female sex having risk of termination screamed when she realized this fact that her parents with the help of Doctors are gong to terminate her life.
She shouted…Mom…Dad…Listen to me…
The Doctor who has done Sonography and opened door of death to me was unknown to me…and for that sonologist I was nobody.
The obstetrician to which you both took me to get termination of my life was aware that I am a female…How can that Doctor be so cruel to accept this responsibility…Does that Doctor do not having any daughter, sister or mother in her life?
For Both these Doctors I was nobody but for both you I was your blood, part of your tissue…Then also how can you decided to throw me in well of death?
जब गर्भ को ये पता चला की वो एक लड़की हैं...और ईसलीये उसकी जिंदगी को खतरा हैं...तो वो डर के मारे चीख उठी.
वो चिल्लाई...ममी...डयाडी...मेरी बात सुनो...
सोनोग्राफी करनेवाले डॉक्टरने...मेरी मौत का दरवाजा खोला...
वो सोनोग्राफी करनेवाला डॉक्टर मेरा कौन था?... कोई नहीं था.
जिस डॉक्टर ने मुझे ख़त्म करने की ढाणी...वो इतना निर्दयी और जालीम कैसे हो सकता हैं?... क्या उसके घर में बेटी, बेहन, माँ नहीं हैं?
चलो छोड़ो...ईन दो डॉक्टर के लीये मैं कौन थी? ...कोई नहीं...मैं उनकी क्या लगती थी?....कोई नहीं.
लेकिन आप तो मेरे अपने थे...मैं तो तुम्हारे कलेजे की टुकड़ी थी...तो फिर तुमने कैसे मुझे मौत के कूवेंमें धकलनेका मन बना लिया?...
एक पल के लीये भी नहीं सोचा?
This was the emotional imaginary dialogues shared by one of our friends from ‘Mission save the Girl’
These things can be very well utilized for counseling of people with old traditional minds.
Counseling is the only effective method in Mission save the Girl campaign.
At Level One…Sonologist and Obstetricians should be called for panel discussion like activity by local authority.
Main task should be counseling of Doctors on necessity of stopping prenatal sex determination on human ground followed by provision of act. There should be open discussion so as to know the problems of Doctors also.
Only act will not suffice…Doctors should be treated as the leaders in Mission save the Girl campaign…Rather Doctors should be motivated to inform the name of couples likely going for prenatal sex determination.
On second level all rest of the Doctors and on third level rest of the paramedical staff should be covered in same manner.
This activity should be done on monthly basis till complete awareness in society.
This was the final conclusion of our team on Practical approach to Mission save the Campaign till the date.
Till today there is no brief advertisement or no any film on campaign of Mission save a Girl by any TV channel.
No single TV channel has come with such type of activity till the date…except occasional inclusion on National channel.
National channel broadcasts advertisement of family planning program and agriculture products in between news…but the real need is do campaign of Mission save the Girl.
To include small clip on Mission save the Girl through television media will be the one of the effective ways to prevent targeted Female foeticide in India.
काही न्यूज च्यानल्स ग्रहण, राशी, भविष्य ह्या विषयांवर बराच वेळ वाया घालवत आहेत...पण मुलगी वाचवा अभियानाकडे त्यांचा काना डोळा आहे...हे असे का?
Person who believes in Mission save the Girl should talk to at least one or two persons in society on this subject.
In India we never promote violence in any manner…One never kills even an ant with out reason…and you are deciding to kill female feotus. This thing is nothing but a sin…and you should not do it.
Why we are loosing our morals?
Due to belief of old traditions…In intention to have family tree intact…You are terminating a female baby before her birth is the thing unexplainable by any angle.
Why we people are forgetting our manners?
One can have a dialog in decent but with direct intentions…This is what one of active member does…and also advises to do.
दर दिवशी किमान एक दोन व्यक्तीशी संवाद साधने आवश्यक आहे.
भारत हा अहिंसावादी देश आहे...कारण नसताना आपण साधी एक मुंगी देखील मारत नाही आणि तुम्ही मुलगी मारायला निघालात? कुठे फेडाल हे पाप?
कृपा करून हे पाप करू नका आणि दुसर्र्या कोणाला करू देवू नका.
वंशाचा दिवा...वंशाच्या दिवा...म्हणता...आणि उद्या जर त्या वंशाच्या दिव्याला तुमचे हे पाप कळले तर त्याला काय वाटेल? तो तुम्हाला कदापि माफ करणार नाही.
स्पष्ट शब्दात व विषयाला सरळ हात घालून बोलणे महत्वाचे आहे. मुलगी वाचवा अभियानातील एका बुजुर्ग व्यक्तीचे हे मत आहे.
बेटी के गर्भ के जनम को रोखनेवालोंके कानोमे ये बात कह दो...के जिस जिस ने भी जिस बेटे के लिए ये पाप किया हैं...वो ही बेटा कल कहेगा...मेरे मम्मी पापा खुनी हैं...
आपके लाडले के दिमागमे ये बात हमेशा के लिए जहर बन कर रह जाएगी...
ज़रा सोचो...
Without wasting time on theoretical discussion on the topic, we should all have to look for effective practical approach... To Save the Girl
During any activity related to Doctors or any health related program conducted for any age group of people in general…organizers should include activity of Mission Save a Girl…
Activity like...
1. Start with simple oath in local language…one simple format is given below
2. Then ask decided experienced person to give short talk on the importance of Mission Save a Girl.
3. With appeal to all to join Mission…this activity should be concluded in five minutes only.
4. Timing of this activity should be decided smartly so as to give effective impact.
5. Such activity ideally should not be as the last part of session except in the program related to same issue…or it may look like patch up typed…unrelated topic…and people are anxious to leave may not take the issue seriously.
We need more and more trial and error before coming to finalize the standard format…but why not to start just now as a trial.
We do many activities in such programs just for formalities irrespective of its meaning and importance…why not to include activity which is in real sense important.
People in general and all other non government organizations will also start similar activities followed by involvement of Government.
We should not wait till Government authority do it obligatory to do certain activity and then we are supposed to do as compulsion.
Media though taking concern of this issue will become more serious on the issue…and bombarding the message of this mission…through media will be the most effective weapon of this mission.
To summarize the campaign should be like dealing with crisis…as we all accept that girls if not saved now will be resulting into major social crisis very soon.
Each and every individual…irrespective of age, educational standard or social status must be given this type of health periodically. Such oath should become like self talk like activity for majority of people…then only Mission Save the Girl…will be effective remarkably.
Here is one format of such oath…
I do respect the birth and presence of female.
I will not involve directly or indirectly in the act of female infanticide.
And I also prevent my relatives and friends from doing female infanticide.
I take such oath.
I do respect mother as a God.
In simple Marathi…
स्त्रीच्या जल्माचा व स्त्रीच्या अस्तित्वाचा मी आदर करतो
Mission is difficult…There are Two Missions…Try to dig out different options and Find some…Some of the Practical Ways…Need is to try all tactics of Missions…And Lead with example.
It includes two Missions
Mission against female infanticide
Mission in favor to save a girl child.
So Mission against female infanticide is a challenge…Mission in favor to save the girl child is not easy…
Two Missions
No need to get confused as I have mentioned a single Mission under two different headings…
I have made it purposely aiming to work under that particular mission.
In first Mission against female infanticides the main task is:
1.to make people aware regarding punishment and laws
2.to make relatives aware regarding punishment and laws
3.to make doctors aware regarding punishment and laws.
In second Mission favoring the girl child the main task is:
1.to motivate the teenager students in campaign by explaining the real fact and likely disaster due to decreasing sex ratio…if not stopped or controlled.
2.to do brain wash of people in general…means all sort of people…educated…uneducated…poor…and rich…all…on the need of nature…or ready to face a big unethical sex issue.
My Observation:
I may be wrong but let me at least talk on my general observation.
My general observation is NGOs are mainly working on first mission that is mission against female infanticides.
Its okay but First mission if not supported by another second mission…simultaneously…the impact will not be easy to digest to society…may lead to some other consequences…
Try to dig out different options:
We are on right track…its okay…but not enough…
It is appeal to all who are in mission to dig out practical and meaningful descent to fight against the satiation aiming to win it as early as possible…
Need is to try all tactics of Missions.
Once we label it as a mission …why not to try all tactics of mission…like
1. be a part of them and then change their psychology…
2. listen to them and then by your skill wash their brains…
3. do not miss a single chance to motive people in general...but by decent way…
4. get them aware of law…but stress should be on the natures need.
5. get entry into their mind and heart and make them to follow you…
6. try the tactic of divide and rule in some cases…but be couscous…it needs experience and different skill...
Some of the Practical Ways:
Let me suggest some practical ways which small non government organization with the help of government health authority can do:
1. Counseling of a mother and father having second female child.
2. Volunteers of particular small NGOs with the help of health authority make a friendship with the newly married family by various means and to explain the mission…
3. Small organization can periodically organize small group discussion type activities with the help of experts so as to involve young population in mission.
4. Government authority is already started keeping tract record of obstetric history…which is one of the effective ways.
5.Welcome the third female child…it’s okay…the one and only female kid’s family is appreciable…but as far as old traditional minded people…why not congratulate on their third female child…you may soon hear the news that the mother has undergone sterilization operation and is happy….
