  • 10 million 'missing' female births in India

    A new study published in the online edition of the Lancet, has found that over the past two decades around 10 million female foetuses may have been aborted in India.

    The study concludes that prenatal sex determination, followed by abortion of female foetuses may be the reason for the alarming 10 million 'missing' female births.

    The researchers also found that the deficit in the number of girls born as second children was more than twice as great in educated than illiterate mothers, but did not vary by religion.

    Based on the natural sex ratio from other countries, the team estimated that around 13.6 to 13.8 million girls should have been born in 1997 in India. However, the actual number was 13.1 million - a deficit of 0.59 - 0.74 million female births.

      The increasing number of female foeticide in our country is a clear sign that we are still living in an orthodox era, adopting a narrow approach towards the various prospects of life.
      The sure way to stop this brutal and cunning act is to educate people and make them aware of the importance of the girl child in today’s world. The people need to acknowledge that the girl is no longer a burden but a bread-winner of the family.

      Come forward and tell others your steps to stop female foeticide.

            Most of the people dont like female child because they think, it will be hard for them to find good groom for her, & if they will get than boys family will ask for more dowry and after that also they don't know how much safe their daughter will be in boys family. Most of educated girl tries to find some good match for themself by making friendship with boys & boys those who are smart they make that girl fall in love with them after that they do what ever they like with that girl.... so girl should be smart enough to handle such boys other wise... there will be more difficulty for them to get hubby. Other than this most of people have mentality that Boy will carry generation name and many more reason....

            Money can buy all type of groom such as Doctor, Engineer,Adminstrative Officers, IPS, IFS etc. Government Employe, Journalist, Lawyer, Business Man....they have their rates.... Buy all those groom or make your daughter like them .. (i.e. Doctor engineer etc.)

            You know Many boys who were studying with me in my class during my PG they said ... I need degree to get good educated wife who can earn or lot of dowry ....

            So those parent who think that they will not be able to protect, & will not be able to give good life to their daughter they do abortion of female foetuses.

            Some Educated Male are Mentally sick....

            I am male but i an not sick... I am too good up till now
