SRINAGAR, Oct 10: Governor N N Vohra has greeted the people on the occasion of the International Day of the Girl Child.
In his message, the Governor has appealed to people to join global efforts to ensure a world free of discrimination for young women and girls and fight against the disadvantages and discriminations borne by girls everywhere. He said that the world’s 1.1 billion girls are part of a large and vibrant global generation poised to take on all future challenges.
He stressed the need to strengthen our girl child by creating opportunities for her education, nutrition, legal rights, medical care and protect her against violence and child marriage.
The Governor said that through explicit focus on collecting and analyzing girl-focused, girl-relevant and sex-disaggregated data and using the same to inform key policy and program decisions, we can plan to adequately measure and understand the opportunities and challenges girls face and identify and track progress towards solutions to their most pressing problems.
