“Star Suvarna is making a small attempt to propagate the cause by condemning female foeticide and girl child discrimination. We would also like to thank them for their contribution towards girl child education and for joining hands with us in our endeavour to make a lasting change in the lives of children,” said Suma Ravi, Regional Director (South), CRY.
We are really happy that Star Suvarna has come forward to highlight violations towards children, to emphasise the need to give children a childhood, educate them so that they are able to break out intergenerational poverty. These are issues which also need to be dealt with sensitivity, and compassion. “It is important for responsible TV shows like Mounaraga to raise awareness on crucial social issues like foeticide – which are hidden, rarely discussed, but very prevalent, and other issues such as child labour, child marriage. To address the criticality of the situation, Star Suvarna’s has come to the fore and contributed Rs 6,00,000 towards to CRY to support the girl child campaign while launching the new show-Mounaraga. Around 2.39 lakh girls aged less than five year die every year in India while almost 1.2 crore of Indian girls have been aborted since 1981, such is the sad state of the ‘Girl Child’ in our country. CRY has been working tirelessly in the domain of child rights for the last four decades. The program is an upcoming fiction show which speaks about gender equality and voices out against the female foeticide in the country.
Star Suvarna, one of the leading entertainment Kannada channel join hands with Child Rights and You (CRY) to support girl child education. The channel is going a step ahead by focusing on gender bias through their new TV show Mounaraga.
