Gender-Biased Sex Selection
It’s a sad fact that even in this day and age, girls are still considered a burden for the family. The ‘burden’ of their physical safety and dowry makes them undesirable, leading to the consequent abortion of female foetuses, despite the prevailing laws against the practice. The sex ratio has fallen to 919 girls for a 1000 boys. Women are disappearing from families, workplaces, and public spaces. We want to give the girl child a fair shot at life, her place in the sun and a safe space in the public domain. Are you with us?
