This document discusses the issue of female feticide in India. It defines female feticide as the deliberate abortion of a female fetus after learning the sex through medical means. It notes that female feticide remains prevalent in India due to a preference for male children, the deteriorated status of women, dowry practices, and medical professionals violating ethics. Statistics show that nearly 10 million female fetuses have been aborted over the past two decades and 1 million girls do not survive past their first birthday. The document advocates for strategies like legal penalties, awareness campaigns, and empowering women to curb this problem.
