Teach them to catch fish

One of the major reason a girl child fails to attend the school are Accessibility, Poverty and Gender Inequality If we can address these issues, we can achieve the goal of educating the girls, Increase the access: we need more facilities, like restroom, school buildings and transport etc. for addressing poverty/child labors/child marriage we need to provide them an alternate source of income, say a small stipend for the children attending the school, and who maintains some 95% percentage of complete attendance etc. When the girl child, becomes an income providing group, more parents tend to send the child to school. Why do they keep them at home ? or Send them to low wage child labor work ? When some one provides them a stipend/food along with a bright future ? But the decision to go for a stipend/nutrition program is upto GOVT/UNICEF. Please go through this article its very useful:Its about poverty with a different perspective: http://www.foreignpolicy.com/articl

Awareness Campaign

Campaign based awareness through accessible mediums Create an awareness campaign through various media: Ration-Food Campaign : As part of UNHCR steps, Ration-Food is been provided at some places; ensure that the packaged food like milk, grocery items and water bottles has a campaign on advantages of educating the girls. This can be a comic strip based campaign or just an ordinary campaign with few words. School Level Competition : Conduct competition at school and colleges ask the students to come up with posters, advertisement viral, street play concepts etc. All the materials should be uploaded to the site, and it will be allowed for the public viewing to create the awareness across the world. This ensures that at least in future people would resolve the issues by talking. The top x campaigns will be selected by UNHCR and will be put into use.For e.g. the Script/ Street Play video can be played in local community so parents and families will realize the importance of educatin

Please give a detailed outline of your proposed solution or idea. Include any potential partners in implementation as well as potential timeline and budget for implementation. Use Technology to provide education to children : We can give quality education by using the technology and by connecting to the globe, and where ever possible reuse the existing information.Use a common place for school, like temple,church in absence of school.

End to child labor One of the major issue many countries faces is child labor, malnutrition and if the child is a girl they have to face worse things, as an individual few can contribute for a cause, not all as the world is becoming mechanical, to put the idea in nut shell divide and conquer, raise the small amount of fund by selling unique products, out of the box thoughts and do merchandising through UN and UNICEF with some international tax benefits for these products so more fund can be raised, one such idea is Social fashion. (check ref for details) Probably the UN online volunteers can promote the product(social fashion) after its launch, to raise the emergency fund,by using their social site account, just like the ice bucket challenge, so the idea reaches faster and gets promoted quickly.

Advertisement Campaign for Global Warming

Campaign for Global Warming       There should be a viral Script which depicts the future, what would happen if the action is not been taken, the change. A small change in us makes a better future for the upcoming generation.             This needs to be telecast often this doesn't happens now days, if government lags fund at least they can give concession to product advertisements, or if possible a rule for advertisement campaign there should be a social message at least in one of the product of their brand in a year for having an advertisement, with social concerns.              Advertisement is an powerful media , when used properly they can change the society as they are  repetitive and when more such advertisement with good deeds comes up it will change the generation  itself, they are like good books which send message instantly (including the posters and social media).       Introduce subjects on global warming at younger age in school, with assignments so whi

Safer world for women

Safer world for women Probably if some ideas shared below gets implemented, at least there will be better world for women, and children, at least in coming days. It would be good if you can share this idea to some sociology, media students once you get an understanding and see if they can do this as a project from college through your network :). The main concept that can be feasible as of now is campaign from students. I agree that government and parents has a role to play in education, but in country where illiteracy rate is high its going to be difficult and not going to happen soon.Rather than teaching someone, its better to use empathy, Giving kids with task, use the street play, write short poems in native language, sketches / photography, College Radio in local language,whatever art form, that can convey the message better and after few years ask the people in the community to contribute the same. Apart from communicating the message, level of communication

Law and Order

Law and order: There should be a change in the law and order, death can be extreme though on the basis of humanity it won’t be achieved and it won't happen in our country, and one or two year punishment is not going to do any good. So there should be a series of other punishment in between the current punishment and the extreme punishment. After all punishment is to stop such occurrence in future , considering the psychology trauma which a victim and her family undergoes the punishment should be severe. If we want a person to change his mindset, we can give him a chance for few months and by monitoring his answers from lie detection tests, the questionnaire based should decide his fate. So in this case the punishment is not extreme and not less, we have given them an opportunity to change. So this should be feasible, as human rights team, will also agree as they should equal importance to victim as well, as th

Depiction of woman and child in advertisement

Depiction of woman and child in advertisement Advertisement are the short display of an culture of an country, They play a huge role, in belief and moral of the country, but at times they play with psychology of the child and woman.        Depiction of woman in advertisement in India:  http://profit.ndtv.com/videos/all-about-ads/video-how-portrayal-of-women-in-advertising-has-changed-over-years-262191   http://www.acrwebsite.org/search/view-conference-proceedings.aspx?Id=9532     Advertisement with social aspect  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEUq8aTRRcc   But this seems to be a request, probably if the advertisement would have provided more statistics and if they have portrayed it as a crime to kill the child, along with law details it would have been better  If they would have depicted a world without girl child, it would have been better and such social advertisements needs to get telecast often, and now days they are not getting telecast and if does only at off hou
