Socioeconomic correlates of girl child discrimination: A study in Samastipur district of Bihar

Author(s):
Arpita Behera, Dr. Arunima Kumari and Dr. Bineeta Satpathy
Abstract:
Every child is equally vital in society for maintaining social balance. The environment for children should be full of peace, prosperity, fairness, and dignity. But in reality, discrimination affects the purity of social equilibrium between boys and girls, creating a huge difference between the two sexes. Although our country has taken a marvellous jump in various fields like science and technology, medical science, space science, agri production but a common biased view about girl child can be still seen in various parts of the country. It also affects the growth and development of each girl in every stage of life. Discrimination against girls occurs in both higher- and lower-class families and the pattern of discrimination is highly complex. Some stereotypes related to discrimination gradually encroach on every girl's freedom of choice, suppressing the balance between males and females and dragging our society into a bad state.
