How many of you think educating a girl is a
wrong thing to do? Nobody can even imagine how disappointed I was when I
happened to meet a 9 years old girl from Sarangkot, Nepal without getting to go
to School. Restricting girls from going to schools still exists in Nepal and
many places around the world, too.
This is 21st century and the world is
marching on the path of development every day. Every second counts here. But
the matter of dismay is that, half of the population of the world is still
under the line of illiteracy. In fact, most of them are women who have been
victimized by this problem.

In my country, there are still so many girls who
don’t go to schools. They are considered as the humans who have to get married
and the machines for bearing, rearing and taking care of children. The other
reasons include poverty, patriarchal and conservative society, and ignorance.
They are pressurized to get married at an early age and are forced to have
children soon. This shows very pitiful and miserable situations of girls in
Nepal. But if you ever asked any of these girls if they are willing to go to
schools or not, you might never get a “ No” answer. They are also humans with
dreams but they are those humans who are bound to suppress their dreams and
hide them in the dark corner. In some cases, you might get a “Yes” answer. But
this might not be their true response. Because many girls are under the fear of
males, as my country is historically a male dominated society.
Not only in Nepal, but about 62 million
girls around the world aren’t in school. And we have to change this action of
girls not being sent to schools. Together, we all can change this statistic and
give the girls chance to go to schools to let them learn, to design their
dreams and most importantly to make them feel they are humans.
