Boys And Girls Are Born Equal: The Power Of Challenging Gender Norms Early In Life
by The Daily Eye Team November 10 2015, 4:08 pm Estimated Reading Time: 0 mins, 27 secsDiya (not her real name), a young girl in Jharkhand, India, regularly
experiences violence at the hands of her father. The injuries she
sustains from her father’s abuse are often so bad that she’s forced to
miss school as a result. Unfortunately for Diya, her school doesn’t
necessarily offer her a safe retreat where she can avoid violent
behaviour. In Diya’s community, as in many communities across India,
violence outside of—and inside of—schools is far too often deemed
acceptable.
