Uttar Pradesh’s Missing Girls: Choked, Drowned Or Simply Abandoned To Die?
In India,
“You have 2,000 girls who are killed in the womb every day,” Maneka Gandhi, Minister of Women and Child Development, India,
told news channel NDTV in an interview.
“Some are born and have pillows on their faces choking them.”
The unabated prevalence of foeticide and female infanticide in India is creating a huge decline in the sex ratio, especially in the Northern and Northwestern States. In the 2011 census, Uttar Pradesh
recorded the 10th lowest Child Sex ratio (CSR) in the country. The CSR in Uttar Pradesh has been consistently
declining from 935 girls per 1000 boys in 1981 to 902 in 2011. In the span of 29 years UP registered a decline of 33 points in CSR. Based on WHO estimate of natural sex ratio of 105 males per 100 females, about 1,34,865 girls went missing per year in Uttar Pradesh in the age group of 0-6 years,
implying a loss of 13,48,645 girls between 2001 to 2011.
