1.FEMALE INFANTACIDE

👉

 Female infanticide is the intentional killing of baby girl inside the mother womb or after birth due to the preference of male babies. It describes the value and gender selective society. The selection of male boy over female over the decades causes a sex ratio imbalance in many countries, especially in India. Sex selective abortion, killing the female infant upon birth using the methods such as feeding the infant poisoned milk, smothering and drowning the child into the vessel full of milk and water. Fact about female infanticide (according to the global study on female infanticide published on 2018 by Asian centre for human rights) ➢ A report released by United Nations Population Fund UNPF) in 2020, nearly 45.8 million girls were missing in India due to pre- and post-birth selection practices.

 ➢ The sex ratio of India is 108.18 males per 100 females in 2020. Due to the gender inequality. 

➢ As per the abortion report more than 2000 abortions are performed specifically to terminate female foetuses.

 The root causes of female infanticide in society • A strong cultural and traditional preference for sons over daughters: priority complex of the society for males. Family lineage. • Gender earning power: males are physically stronger than females and having higher earning power and able to provide for the family. These mentalities of society still affect the birth of females. • Old age supporter: males are the secure supporter of their parents age a very old age while females get married and do not support their parents as like male can do. • Dowry: Major cause of female infanticide in society is dowry, because poor parents cannot afford the demand of dowry by male and they believe that without money females cannot be grownup. Girls will bear with economic crises and a bad luck for their generation • Violence against married women: Women in cultures and societies that priorities sons have to bear the consequences of giving birth to an unwanted girl child. The consequences can include violence, abandonment, divorce or even death.

2. Gender gap

Gap between men and women and men in terms of their level of participant, access, rights, remuneration and benefits in the society or a region. It is the difference between the men and women are treated in society. Women are considered to be a burden by many families and are not provided with the same rights men enjoy in society.
