‘Educate
a man and you educate an individual. Educate a woman and you educate a family’
as rightly said, Jagran Lakecity University celebrated ‘International Day of
the Girl Child’ under the initiative of JLU social volunteering club. It is one
of the many initiatives that have taken to uphold the girls of society across
the globe. Every year, this day is celebrated worldwide to showcase the
empowerment of the girl child. Dr. Somya Dwivedi, Chief Radiologist and
Managing Partner at Qura Diagnostics & Research Centre delivered a special
lecture especially for the female students of JLU.
It
is important for us to explore the gender notion of space and look at the
intersectional manifestations of gender bias. Every girl should be aware of her
rights such as education, nutrition, forced child marriage, legal rights, and
medical rights. The woman needs to be empowered by other women only, and
society as a whole. The women who support each other are the women who grow
together. Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Somya Dwivedi, said ‘Woman is the core
essence of life and it’s fortunate we are born as one. Right from the start,
women have so many roles to play thus it is very important to create awareness
for a healthier and more progressive society. Raising awareness through
effective programs of education carves away to women’s attainment of healthy
and fulfilling lives and improves the status of women in their decision-making
capacities’ During her interaction with the students, she spoke on Women's
health
issues and its awareness such as PCOD, Cervical Cancer, Feminine Hygiene, etc.
On this occasion, the female students at JLU formed a human chain and pledged
to create awareness and opportunity for women and girls to achieve their
potential.
