MESSAGE
The selective abortion of female fetuses is
most common in areas where cultural norms
value male over female children.
EDITORIAL
Another New Year comes and we
still face the same hurdle of "Saving
the girl child".
India is growing dynamically in every
field, today the rapid growth in
economy, innovative technologies,
and improved infrastructure has
become nation's pride. But bias
against the girl child is still prevailing
in the country.
The basic mindset has to change and accept
that girls are equally and probably more supportive to
the family. Today girls are taking responsible roles in the
society, offices and in all spheres. Creating awareness
amongst all strata of society and educating people
about this basic fact is so essential. I am confident that
once the wave of change is set in the minds of some
people it will create a ripple effect and set the motion
and..... this is what Smriti is doing creating that
change... I hope more and many more FOGSI societies
join hands with Smriti!!
Dr. Suchitra Pandit
Educate a girl and give
her wings to fly.
The most shocking fact is that the
innovative and the hard high end
t e c h n o l o g i e s l i k e b i o p s y,
ultrasound, ultra scan are brutally
killing the Indian girl child. WE
UNDERSTAND THAT IF THE SERVICE
PROVIDER SAYS NO.. THEN IT WILL BE
A NO.
We need to tackle the problems of WEEEEP
Women Problems of
Education
Empowerment
Employment
WE KNOW SOME OF OUR CLAN ARE
STILL INDULGING IN THIS. WE HAVE
POINTED OUT THAT MAJORITY OF
SUCH PRACTICE IS BEING DONE BY
NON MEDICAL QUACKS AND SO IS
THE ABORTIONS.
WE UNDERSTAND IT'S A SOCIAL
PROBLEM AND A SOCIAL
REVOLUTION HAS TO BE STARTED
AGAINT THIS.
This is like an EPIDEMIC which cannot
be eradicated easily ,But YES we can
definitely bring about a change by
raising a voice. Lets join hands and
pledge to save our DAUGHTERS.
Environment
Make a new Indian women literate & healthy.

2. PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Dr Hema Divakar , President FOGSI
speaks about FOGSI Campgain for
Value, Safety & Respect for women—
that all kinds of violence against women are on the rise. A
survey conducted by Oxfam India and Social & Rural
Research Institute has revealed that 17 per cent of working
women experienced sexual harassment. The maximum
number of sexual harassment cases was reported among
labourers (29 per cent); domestic helps (23 per cent) and
small scale units (16 per cent), which reflect the
vulnerability of the underprivileged sections of society. A
report released by Ministry of Women & Child
Development a few years ago has revealed that an
estimated 150 million girls under the age of 18 years have
been subjected to sexual harassment at home and at
educational institutes.
Naari Samman 2013
With the increase in the number of
incidents of atrocities against women
in the nation, the Federation of
Obstetric & Gynaecological Societies of India (FOGSI),
the apex body for all Obstetricians & Gynaecologists in
the country, launched a new CSR initiative – Social
Innovation– to create Value, Safety & Respect (VSR) for
women by ushering in synergy among all stakeholders
concerned in an event titled Naari Samman 2013 .The
FOGSI, as a socially-conscious organization, intends to
tackle the issues of atrocities against women, be it
domestic violence, rape, sexual harassment, dowry
harassment, gender-based discrimination, and violencethrough long-term plans with the support of stakeholders.
The Social Innovation CSR initiative is an extension of
FOGSI's 'Innovation to Implementation' theme for 2013
under which several path-breaking innovations aimed at
improving the women's healthcare services were
successfully implemented.
These are disturbing facts. Sex-selective abortion and
infanticide have led to lopsided sex ratios in several North
Indian states; crimes against women continue to rise and
of late awareness has led to increase in the number of
incidents. However, we need a paradigm shift to change
the attitude of society towards the girl child and women.
Crimes are perpetrated against women from the womb to
the tomb. The FOGSI is making concerted efforts to tackle
them in a systematic manner by way of creating awareness
and educating the people concerned. FOGSI has a strong
network of obstetricians and gynaecologists across the
country and we will leverage them to tackle these societal
inconsistencies.
As part of the Social Innovation CSR initiative, a day-long
conclave titled 'Naari Samman' was organized in Mumbai
on 14th of November 2013.The conclave brought
together policy-makers, legal fraternity, NGOs, key
opinion leaders and bureaucrats to identify the way
forward to create VSR for women . On the occasion, the
Women's Health Forum (WHF) – India was launched. The
WHF will ensure that this mission is completed successfully.
FOGSI's Vision 2022, which is aimed at changing the way
society and people perceive women in the next one
decade in the country. Vision 2022 aims at:
(a) Saving the Girl child should become a non-issue by the
year 2022.
There are several issues affecting women today and they
can be broadly classified into social and criminal, but both
are interlinked. Be it female feticide, child trafficking,
dowry deaths, domestic violence, sexual violence, rape
or gender-based discrimination and missing girls, all need
the active support of the legal fraternity, policy-makers,
and medical communities.
(b) Education and empowerment of women is a
continuous effort, and
(c) Ensure that adolescent healthcare is in place as 360
million youth in India journey towards wellness with
through anaemia eradication, sex education,
vaccinations, contraception, and HIV/AIDS care
(d) Tackling the tsunami of gestational diabetes and
cancer cervix and reduce the burden of non
communicable diseases
For instance, Haryana has the worst male-female ratio in
India and it is below the national average (943 female
against 1000 males). In Haryana, it is 879 females followed
by Jammu & Kashmir (889 females); Uttar Pradesh (912
females) and Bihar (918 females) and Rajasthan (926
females) for every 1000 males. Several cases of domestic
violence, especially in rural areas are going unreported.
While in cities, including shanty towns, domestic violence
is 40 per cent the same in rural areas is as high as 56 per
cent. According to NCRB data, 244,270 cases of crime
reported against women were reported in 2012. While
38,262 cases related to kidnapping and abduction of
women / girls; 45,351 cases were related to assault on
women with intent to outrage her modesty. A whopping
106,527 cases were on cruelty by husband or his relatives
while there were 8,233 cases relating to dowry death.
The meet helped to create a consensus in favour of longterm solutions with in depth discussions on root causes
and collective efforts that ought to be made by all stake
holders.Through this platform, it will be our endeavour to
convert our FOGSI innovations into implementation. As a
society we have already spent adequate time on the need
for upholding the rights and dignity of women. What we
now need is action that can deliver results. We hope that
Naari Samman is the first stepping stone towards
achieving a fair and equitable society, which is devoid of
any bias against women
According to the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), in
India, a child goes missing every eight minutes. Almost
40% of them are never found and incidentally a majority of
them are girls. Similarly, violence against women continues
to remain high. A survey conducted by Trust Law reveals
