Books Highlight Gender Bias and Challenges Facing Girls in India

Two recent books explore challenges faced by girls in India, highlighting deep-rooted gender biases and their impact. Safeena Husain's Every Last Girl documents her NGO's efforts to enroll out-of-school girls amid societal prejudice, while Meera Vijayann's Girls Who Said Nothing and Everything reflects on personal experiences of sexual assault and the psychological effects of patriarchal norms. Both works emphasize the importance of visibility, education, and breaking silence to address gender discrimination.
