Keeping in Mind Our Mother Tongue

                   Mother tongue is used for the language that a person learn as a child at home. Children growing up in bilingual homes can, according to this to this definition, have more than one mother tongue or native language.
                    First language (native language, mother tongue) is the language a person learns first. Correspondingly, the person is called a native speaker of the language. Usually a child learns the basics of their first language from their family. Good skills in native language are essential for further learning, as native language is thought to be a base of thinking. Incomplete first language skills often make learning other languages difficult. Native language has therefore a central role in education. The term "mother tongue" could be misleading. In some paternal societies, mothers are from different places and speak different dialects or languages. Yet their children usually only speak their local language. Only a few will learn to speak his/her mother's language like a native. Actually, mother in this context probably originated from the definition of mother as source, or origin.
                    The order in which these languages are learnt is not necessarily the order of proficiency.

Equal Rights, Equal Opportunity

                      Discrimination towards women and girls, or what is known as gender-based discrimination, is one of the most pervasive human rights violation. It severely limits the ability  of women, girls and the communities they live in to protect and promote their  health.
                        Equal rights,the officially recognized equality of citizens before the state, the law, and the court; one of the fundamental elements of democracy. The constitutionalism guarantees of equal rights and extent to which equal rights are realized indicate the level of democracy in the society and state system.                   Equal opportunity  means taking positive steps to end discrimination, to prevent its recurrence, and to create new opportunities that were previously denied qualified minorities and women. 
                    Gender-based discrimination is irrevocably connected to negative health outcomes for women and girls. Its associated poor health outcomes are often compounded by other forms of inequality related to socioeconomic status, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religious affiliation or geographical location. While these challenges are imposing, and often encoded in "normalized" ways of living.
