Female Infanticide

Female infanticide is the intentional killing of baby girls due to the preference for male babies and from the low   value associated with the birth of females. These practices arise in areas where cultural norms value male children over female children and also poverty.

According to a recent report by the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), up to 50 million girls and women are missing from India' s population as a result of systematic gender discrimination in India.There are less than 93 women for every 100 men in the population of India. The United Nations says an estimated 2,000 unborn girls are illegally aborted every day in India.The practice of female de-selection in India could be attributed to socioeconomic reasons. Studies in India have indicated three factors of female de-selection in India, which are economic utility, sociocultural utility, and religious functions.

• only a son will provide for the family.
• the family gets an economic reward through dowry payments.
• only sons are allowed to provide, based on Hindu tradition, which mandate that sons are mandatory in order to kindle the funeral pyre of their late parents and to assist in the soul salvation.

In India, villages do not have a proper access to drinking water and electricity but have one for ultrasound  tests.

why? why doesnt a girl have a right to live? These days we earn more than men and are more successful too. what are the feminists in this country doing? Just hold rallies and walk around the streets?

The final result is that we are forcing men to become gay.
