A girl child rights campaign
I must be born, I must be heard,
before supressed...
Because my life is my right.
I will seek 're birth' ,
Until then!
CAMPAIGN REBIRTH
Organizations supporting Campaign Rebirth Initiatives
Half the Sky Movement
Journalists Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn took on this urgent moral challenge in 2009 with their acclaimed best-selling book, Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide (already in its 25th printing in hardback). They encouraged readers all over the world to do the same.
Now, a landmark movement — inspired by Kristof and WuDunn’s work and also entitled Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide — is working to amplify the book’s impact. Ignited by a high-profile national television event and fueled by innovative multi-platform initiatives, Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide is galvanizing even more people to join the burgeoning movement for change.
Half the Sky Movement provides the Action Grant to Founder Arpita Mitra for the implementation of the Campaign Rebirth.

Partner Organizations and Support
Action Aid India
ActionAid India is an anti-poverty agency, working in India since 1972 with the poor people to end poverty and injustice together. Together with the people, we claim legal, constitutional and moral rights to food and livelihood, shelter, education, healthcare, dignity and a voice in decisions that affect their lives.Rooted with communities and social formations, learning from people’s actions and building on alternatives,
In 2013, they celebrated Beti Utsav’s in nine re-settlement colonies of Delhi and specifically reached out to ninety young mothers who gave birth to a girl. Patriarchy is at the root of this menace. The birth of a girl child is taken as a curse in our society, whilst birth of a baby boy is celebrated with pomp and show.It is this cycle of ignorance that our campaign is aiming to break. Action India is one of the organisations in Delhi who are working towards a gender equal society.
