Concept

Mother's Day is a celebration honouring the mother of the family, maternal bonds, and the influence of mothers in society. This day is celebrated on the second Sunday of May every year and is an occasion to show your affection, respect and care towards your mother.

In the spirit of celebrating Mother’s day, Ministry of Women and Child Development, Government of India is organizing a Contest inviting stories about mothers. The Contest shall commence from 8th May, 2016 for a month long duration, ending on 6th June, 2016.

The concept of this campaign is to promote the idea of children sharing anecdotes/ stories about their mother who has defied gender stereotypes, raised her voice against gender discrimination and championed the cause of gender equality and empowerment. This story should have left a long lasting impact and consequently led to a change in the mindset of her family and/or the community at large. The premise is based on the fact that relationship with mother is one of the closest and may be a strong influencer in shaping behaviours and attitudes of her children. A mother is also a source of inspiration and a role model for her children. When an anecdote/story is narrated about a mother, it can be used as a catalyst to bring about a positive change in societal mindset. This may further lead to a more gender sensitive society which recognizes the contributions of a mother, in particular and women, in general.

The objective of the contest is to engage with larger audience through sharing of stories about mothers, thereby encouraging inter-generational dialogue, sensitizing men and boys, being a role model for an empowered daughter. This also creates an opportunity for open conversations against gender discrimination, inequality and dis-empowerment, which in turn leads to a positive mindset change in the society.

Some of the suggested themes are gender equality and empowerment, gender discrimination, sexual harassment, domestic violence, social evils like dowry and early marriage and so on.

After the hospital authorities confirmed my daughter's deafness, I took the major decision to dedicate my life for her cause to enable her to stand as a competitive equal to the other normal girls of the society.I learn sign language, which I did, and started teaching my daughter in sign language. It was a positive step towards educating my child as she was responding and learning better than school classes.now she run a speaking hands institute for deaf in Rajpura PB.

Jijabai Shaped ShivaJi – The Great Hindu Warrior A GREAT career is determined by favourable circumstances for the growth of genius. It is also shaped in a great measure by a good education. Both these influences played a great part in moulding the mind and character of Shivaji. The first ten years of his life were spent in his mother’s company, an influence of most vital character on the life of a man. A mother is first teacher, mentor of a child. Child internalizes everything that

I still remembered the days of darkness and terror . The cries of murder in my home town. My father lost his life in brutality of terrorism leaving behind the two kids . My mom stood courageously saved us from all inhuman activities, her indomitable spirit filled a new hope for survival in our minds. She spent sleepless nights in earning livlihood . A housewife stood against all odds and raised her children with best education. My mom set an example of sacrifice , determination and love.

My Mother has taught me to always try my best.Gender discrimination has been an age-old social evil in our country. It is one vice of our society that has changed forms but has remained in all walks of life. Discrimination in its extreme form was seen in the form of Sati-Pratha where the wife was supposed to burn herself in the funeral pyre of her husband. A man was never asked to do so for his wife. Widows were boycotte

If a mother is educated a generation gets educated, there goes the saying. My mother was very lucky as well as unlucky. Unlucky because she lost her mother in her infancy, but lucky since she was brought by her petarnal aunt ,who happened to be a child widow. But that lady with out adequate funds and basic education, made her foster daughter to graduate with English literature. My mother is our inspiration which made us educated confident women .an example for empowerment of women.
