Girls blind to femicide reality: Study
In the name of creating awareness about female foeticide, Lohri, a festival traditionally celebrated in Punjab for sons, would this time see newborn girl children being feted.
A recent survey has revealed that the female child, who needs to discard the mindset of blaming woman for the birth of a girl, and who can take a stand against femicide, is largely unaware of the problem, especially in rural and semi-urban areas of Punjab.
A total of 1,638 girls, selected randomly and studying in class VIII to class X in 22 schools spread over districts of Patiala, Sangrur, Fatehgarh Sahib, Giderbaha, Faridkot and Ludhiana, were studied over six months during female foeticide awareness camps , and the results are an eye-opener.
