Ayushmann says, “Each of us has the responsibility of making gender-based discrimination a thing of the past and ensuring that every girl is regarded by families and communities with the same value and worth as any boy. This National Girl Child Day, let’s start by breaking the gender stereotypes in our personal lives. Small actions count and contribute towards positive change in the long run.”

He adds, “It cannot be done without the active involvement of men. So this message is also for you: Men and boys, let us pledge to call out sexist comments, jokes and prejudices whenever we come across them and ensure that girls and women are valued and respected everywhere.”
