What happened to 100 million baby girls?（IFUW news）
The latest IFUW blog examines the problem of gendercide - the "disappearance" of an estimated 100 million baby girls, either killed, aborted or neglected. Due to the traditional preference for sons and a modern desire for smaller families, along with the help of modern technologies, distorted sex ratios are unbalancing societies in many parts of the world. In China and northern India for example, the sex ratios for children born in the early 2000s has risen to 120 boys to 100 girls, as opposed to the usual 103 boys to 100 girls. This has repercussions on all areas of society. For example, a shortage of brides is already a problem in some parts of the world, especially as rootless young males are associated with higher crime rates.
Is gender preference an issue in your country? What actions needs to be taken to protect baby girls?
