Modi stresses on girl child education to foster women empowerment

PM ModiStressing on girl child education, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said it was the key to women empowerment.

In a television interview, Modi condemned the anti-rape statements given by several political leaders and said,”More damage is done by statements made by the politicians. The dignity of a woman is our collective responsibility. The main issue is the education of the girl child. By doing so, the possibility of empowerment of women will increase.”

In a speech on Independence Day Modi had said,”Parents ask their daughters hundreds of questions, but have any parents ever dared to ask their son as to where he is going, why he is going out, who his friends are. After all, a rapist is also somebody`s son. He also has parents. As parents, have we ever asked our son as to what he is doing and where he is going. If every parent decides to impose as many restrictions on the sons as have been imposed on our daughters, try to do this with your sons, try to ask such questions of them”.
