Congress President and UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi said recently during the launch of Ahimsa Messenger programme in New Delhi, 'In a family the right that a male child has should be given to a girl child too. Like every boy, each girl child also has the right to get proper education, training, job and also to secure a respectable position in the society'. While expressing her concern over the growing crimes against women, Sonia Gandhi commented 'When women are reaching new milestones with their commendable performance at different walks of life, there are also shameful incidents of child marriage, female foeticide, dowry-related atrocities, domestic and sexual violence'..
