As per the recant report by UN-DESA (United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs) India
Data showing report of infant mortality rate for 150 nations over 40 yeas says that female infant (from 0-1 years) and child (from1-5) mortality rate (or simply death) has increased horribly inIndia
While in other countries including Pakistan and Sri Lanka female mortality rate is decreasing, inIndia followed by China
Indian girl child aged 1-5 years is 75% more likely to die than an Indian boy.
|The country which prays goddess Durga and respects rivers in the name of female god is proving itself a hell for a girl child. It’s a shameful fact, and a painful reality.|
As clear from ratio of male to female mortality (per 100 Females)
InIndia
And 56 male child(1-5) die for every 100 female child. However at world level it is 122 male infants and 116 male child for every 100 female infant and child.
All this is happening even when biologically infant girls are better survivors than boys if given equal access to food and health.
This is the warning that our ignorance to the needs of a girl in comparison to that of a boy is leading to increase in death and endangerment of girls.
Girls plays the role of mother, sister, wife etc but for these roles we first need a girl child, which is dying!
