your thoughts about female foeticide or female infanticide
Answers
- Female foeticide is deliberately having an abortion after knowing the sex of the child in uterus.
- Female infanticide is killing the girl child after she is born.
Government should start awareness programs to decrease these alarming rates. Women's are far ahead of Men , now Women's should not be seen as burden on Men shoulders. Women's have their own role in the growth of society. Now womens are taking part in every sector , like medical , engineering, aviation , science etc and they are doing very well in their respective fields. So we need to aware people having a girl child as a gift .
Explanation:
Female foeticide is the process of finding out the sex of the foetus and undergoing abortion if it is a girl. Although it is illegal, many people continue to practice it. Besides this, there are some communities which practice female infanticide - the practice of killing the girl child once she is born. This fact is highlighted by the findings of census 2001 which show that there are only 933 women in this country for every 1000 men. Besides this, Census (2011) data showed a significant declining trend in the Child Sex Ratio (CSR), calculated as number of girls for every 1000 boys between age group of 0 - 6 years, with an all time low of 918 in 2011 from 976 in 1961. This decline in sex ratio means that we are not just depriving girls of human rights, we are also depriving them of their right to live.
