8th July, 2018 Palanpur
The students of K B High School enacted a street play on ‘Save the girl child’. The birth of a girl is looked upon as a burden in society and the sex ratio in the country has shown an alarming decrease. The play revolved around a housewife, harassed by her in - laws because she had two girls and they forced her to give them a boy child to carry on
the family lineage. The lady was pregnant and the sonography showed that she was carrying another girl child.
The family cursed her and wanted her to abort the foetus but the lady battled to save her child. The husband understood the situation and sided with his wife. He knew that a third child was going to be difficult to look after considering his meagre income but he wanted to save his child though family planning was a must. The Play highlighted that a woman should not become an enemy of her own sex. Women must stand up for their rights.
