Girl child<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The SAARC Decade of the Girl Child was a period of ten years from 1991 to 2000 during which the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) focused on improving the lives of girls and women in the region. The decade was launched at the SAARC Summit in Colombo, Sri Lanka, in 1991.<\/p>\n<p>The goals of the SAARC Decade of the Girl Child were to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Promote the rights of girls and women<\/li>\n<li>Eliminate discrimination against girls and women<\/li>\n<li>Improve the health and education of girls and women<\/li>\n<li>Empower girls and women<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The SAARC Decade of the Girl Child was a success in many ways. The number of girls enrolled in school increased, the number of girls receiving vaccinations increased, and the number of girls being married off as children decreased. However, there is still much work to be done to improve the lives of girls and women in South Asia.<\/p>\n<p>The other options are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>B.
