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. According to Indian government data on births, the number of females per males at birth in state of Punjab is around 775 to 1,000.
How can this immense problem be tackled? What can you do about this problem, against this problem??

Thank u for this forum. I received ur e-mail through a network of friends. The issue of discrimination of women is eating our society from inside. I belong to a typical north Indian family and i am the oldest daughter with two younger sisters and a brother. I am about to get married in one years time. When my marriage was sure to take place my mum informed me that i should make sure i have sons only because life had been such a hell for her as she only gave birth to daughters and had two abortions- and finally had a boy. My mum is an educated woman and a teacher in a college. I have also been blessed with a good education. I am working in a known Indian company. Im writing all this to share how forward we can be yet hot behind we r when it comes to status of women and girls.
How can this be changed??
I would like to know your father's point of view in this? Did he force your mother to abortions? We need to discuss the role of males in this issue. Please dont forget that!! Fathers are equally important. They must be addressed.

I think that the entire family is important and we should learn from the past. But, it is in our hands, in the present, to make a change. Every small step counts and can eventually bring about a bigger change.
Dear Amrita and all,
Please do suggest what you think can be done in fighting the issue of discrimination against the girlchild and woman?

Govt will have to become stricter in law enforcement. Violators should not be spared.
After all girls too have right to live in this world.
