Rights of the Girl Child in India focuses on all aspects of the girl child's existence-including her suffering due to both childism and sexism, status in Indian society, specific vulnerabilities, and the legal and human rights scenario. It covers in detail the facets of well-being of the girl child that are of concern to governments as well as international organizations. This book explains the challenges in executing any welfare and development initiatives for girls, including the discriminatory social norms impacting programme and policy implementation. It also closely explores the differences between the theory and practical aspects of prevalent governmental programmes and policies. In the concluding parts, the book makes several policy recommendations and also seeks to lay out a future road map for the well-being of the girl child in India.
