The Problem Of Female Foeticide Essay

In this short video and article on the topic of gendercide, reporter Elizabeth Vargas travels to India to found out from the people of India personally why there is such a shortage of females. She discovered that although aborting a fetus of a female child is illegal because of the shortage of females, families still continue to abort them because they don't want the burden that the baby girls brings. Vargas also discovered that illegal sex determination clinics can be found just about on every street. Men and their families also the wives to have sex determination tests and abort the baby if it’s female.

Kainat and her family showed true bravery in this rape case. They went against tradition and stuck with their morals. There is still a strong stigma with rape. People will say the girl was asking for it, and that is not true. You cannot justify rape by blaming the victim for looking a certain way. I watch a documentary on Netflix called “India’s Daughter”, unfortunately, the young woman did not get to confront her perpetrators like Kainat because she was murdered after being raped. Women here are seen as confident, healthy, and powerful while women elsewhere are subjected to horrible conditions, they are repressed and discriminated against by their own neighbors. The men in this video prove that women’s lives don’t matter because if she acts

Constantly, people hear rape crimes, sexual abuse, and the inequality between women and men on a everyday bases. Not only is this situation happening intensely in the United States, it becomes even more fierce in third-world countries such as India. Controversies surrounding women’s image and status should be resolved locally and internationally. It is not something that is completely irrelevant to us, it could happen to anyone, you, your friends, and even your family members. So, when people are talking misconceptions about the image of women, or giving funny comments about a serious issue that is relating to women, please stand up and defend for women’s rights. Any defensive action might have a chance of saving a life, strengthening women’s rights, and protecting their dignity. Women should not be told of what to wear, how to act, and when to play; men should be told not to

The issue of abortion is one of the most sensitive and controversial issues faced by modern societies. This issue leads to topics of whether abortion is right or wrong, if it is the actual killing of a person, and what actually defines the moral status of a fetus. In this paper, I will be arguing against Bonnie Steinbock, who believes that abortions are morally acceptable. So I will be supporting the view that abortions are not morally acceptable.

The women in India I think were treated with less respect and were not able to do anything

The decision to terminate the pregnancy should be decided well before the point where the fetus could survive outside of the uterus besides in the extreme cases.

The Female Reproductive System parts are gametes, which is a mature haploid male or female germ cell that is able to unite with another of the opposite sex in several reproductions to form a zygote. Egg is a person possessing a specified quantity. Ovum is a mature female reproductive cell especially of a human or other animal that van divide to give rise to an embryo usually only after fertilization by a male cell. Vaginal is a muscular tube leading from the external genitals to the cervix of the uterus in women and most female mammals. Labia is the inner and outer folds of the vulva, at either side of the vagina. Clitoris is a small sensitive and erectile part of the female genitals at the anterior end of the vulva. Urethra is a duct by

A child that is murdered by their mother is known as “maternal filicide”. Children that killed within their first year of being born is known as “infanticide”. An infant killed with the first 24 hours of being born is known as “neonaticide” (Friedman, S., & Resnick, P. J. 2007). Unfortunately, these words exist because there is a history of children being killed by their parents, which yearly about 450 children intentionally murdered by a parent. Furthermore, FBI homicide data correlates three out of four child victims are younger than 5. While Northeastern data a large portion of filicide are from parents that are going through some form of custody battle (Bello, 2014). These statistics makes Susan’s case even more unique that her case goes against the majority or what data suggest. Another case that goes against the norm is Mitchelle Blair who also committed maternal filicide. She claim she killed her two children, a 13 year old daughter and 9 year old son. Mitchelle says she killed her children because they were raping her youngest child (Chuck, 2015). To add to this list Tonya Thomas murdered her four children ages 12,13, 15, and 17 years old before killing herself (Jennings, & Smith, 2012). Julie Schenecker killed her teen children also which raises the

India’s statistics are similar. According to the BBC “In 1961, for every 1,000 boys under the age of seven, there were 976 girls. Today, the figure has dropped to a dismal 914 girls. Although the number of women overall is improving (due to factors such as life expectancy), India's ratio of young girls to boys is one of the worst in the world after China. Many factors come into play to explain this: infanticide, abuse and neglect of girl children. But campaigners say the decline is largely due to the increased availability of antenatal sex screening, and they talk of a genocide”.

Female infanticide has been accepted for centuries in many countries, and is more prominent in India and China than in any other countries around the world. It is illegal in India, however it is reported by Unicef that up to 50 million girls and women are “missing” in India as a result of systemic sex discrimination.

Ever since India’s government raised more awareness for acid attack victims, women of India, along with others around the world, are starting their own movements in order to support themselves and everyone who had experienced the same trauma. The new women's rights movement, “Make Love not Scars,” is a bold movement designed to help women of India, such as Rupa, a victim that inspired the movement

lots of sites with the for or against argument. I had to go on the

It is regrettable that female infanticide and foeticide are rapidly decreasing the female population throughout India. The main factors that is responsible for the increase in the incidence of female infanticide and foeticide is the low status of women, son preference, and the practice of dowry across all casts groups.

Birth of a child can be such a happy time, especially when the little one is very healthy. We all have seen the movies when a new child is born, some of us are lucky to see it first hand. Some of us do get goose bumps, me being one of them. It is just so exciting to see that little life come out of what has been in that big belly for nine months. We sometimes refer to the birth of a child as labor. If only it was as easy as the name sounds. However, it is not. There are three main stages in birth. The first stage is the longest stage that can last 12 to 14 hours with the first birth, and later births are shorter. Dilation and effacement of the cervix take place here. That is when the uterine contractions gradually become more frequent and

Jyoti Singh was a young, 23 year old Indian woman who had aspiring ambitions to be a doctor. Little was known that her dreams would not be come true due to what occurred on December 16, 2012. Jyoti was making her way back to her home with her friend on a typical night out when she was barbarically gang raped by six men on a bus. The gruesome details of her rape shook the entire city of New Delhi. It was reported that she was sadistically raped by a rusted rod and had her insides brutally torn from her. When the shameless culprits were interrogated for their reasons, they calmly retorted that they didn’t like the fact that she was out late at night with a male friend. If you find yourself glancing back at their reasons with an outrageous look, you are not alone. Millions of women marched the streets of Delhi to protest the issue of women safety. Furthermore many people advocated giving these men the capital punishment of death. Yet is that enough? Is hanging a bunch of young men going to eliminate the deeply entrenched culture that holds lack of respect for women? I believe the key solution of eradicating this pressing issue should not necessarily focus on punishment, but on prevention of these atrocities in the first place. Thus, this could be only accounted by increase in the quality of education in these places. I believe that education can bring women liberation from these
