Rampant female feticide in some parts of India is creating a dangerous and imbalanced gender ratio. Female fetuses and female infants are being killed quietly and their bodies are thrown on garbage dumps; declared as still born. The new born girl child is suffocated with a heavy wet towel or choked with salt, drowned in a bucket of milk or simply strangulated. Who does it? Surprise…the grand mother or the mid wife. A woman killing one of her own gender! Lacks of education, poverty and dowry system are main causes for this silent genocide. Join hands to make girls financially independent through education; counsel parents to reduce this killing.
