AN EVIL IN INDIAFEMALE FOETICIDE : HERE I AM BRINGING IN NOTICE AGAIN A VERY SERIOUS AND SINFUL JOB THAT IS DONE EVEN TODAY IN OUR COUNTRY.THAT IS "FEMALE FOETICIDE"

Female Foeticide is the act of Aborting a fetus because it is female. How cruel?

For this reason, Indian women will soon get extinct. Surprised? The most active part is being played by the women themselves -- why? Just for the mere want of a boy, mothers don't feel bad in strangulating their daughters in their wombs. Can anyone be more cruel?

Reasons For Female Foeticide

Poverty Gender Discrimination Lack of Education Traditional Practices Marriage Dowry IgnoranceContinuing discrimination and negative cultural attitudes and practices against girls as well as negative stereotyping that limit girls potential.Inadequate awareness of the specific situation of the girl child, child labour, and the heavy burden of domestic responsibilities on girls.Inadequate nutrition and access to health services.Lack of finance which prevent girls from pursuing and completing their education and training.Lack of opportunities and possibilities for girls to become confident and self-reliant, and independent adults.Poverty, lack of parental support and guidance, lack of information and education, abuse and all forms of exploitation of, and violence against the girl child, in many cases resulting in unwanted pregnancies and transmission of HIV.Few national mechanisms to implement programmes and policies for the girl child, and programmes hindered by lack of or insufficient allocation of financial and human resources.Insufficient provision of information and services to meet girls health needs, including education and services related to their sexual and reproductive health that would enable them to deal in a positive and responsible way with their sexuality.Increased sexual abuse and sexual exploitation.

7MAIN CAUSE OF FEMALE FOETICIDEThe general perception is that the cost of marriage and dowry has gone up and so daughters have become greater financial liabilities. The dowry system is invariably blamed.

We are not convinced that dowry alone is the main cause of female foeticide. Families that are well-off and do not have to depend on dowry to augment their income are also opting for female foeticide.

The real reason seems to be the high status of families with several sons and the low status of families with no sons.

Currently, 60 million girls are reported as missing as a result of infanticide, sex selective abortions, and neglect.At least 130 million girls alive today have undergone Female Genital Mutilation, and 2 million more are at risk every year.It is reported that at least 5,000 women and girls are murdered each year for honors sake by members of their own families.United Nation statistics, national reports and studies initiated by non-governmental organizations repeatedly show that girls, as a group, have lower literacy rates, receive less health care, and more impoverished than boys.

Facts and Statistics

What do we mean by Female Sex Ratio? Sex ratio is the number of females per every 1000 males in a given place.Where does Female Sex Ratio in India stand in Census 2011? During the period, 1991-2011, the child sex ratio declined from 945 to 914, whereas the overall sex ratio showed an improvement from 927 to 940.

The adverse sex ratio creates shortage of women and has severe long-term implications

The shortage of women does not lead to their increased value, but to greater restrictions and control placed over them.

BecauseA national emergency

Indias Census Commissioner Jayant Kumar Banthias First Report on Religion Data, 2001, first revealed the persistent bias against the girl-child, prompting discussion of this dramatic trend.

Some voices, such as Indias national newspaper, The Hindu, recognized the sharp decline as a national emergency. In its August 29, 2004 online article,No girls please, were Indian, reporter Kalpana Sharma wrote about sex-selective abortion, infanticide, and the neglect/discrimination of Indias girl child, calling it an epidemic that will have far-reaching social consequences.

The reasons behind this mistreatment of girls crosses the spectrum of Indian regions, economic classes, and castes and are due to a complex mix of economic, social, and cultural factors. 13Women is the most beautiful creation of god Mother : Divinity Daughter: Innocence Sister : Care Friend : Warmth Wife : Dedication
