When They are against Girl Child - Murder by her own family

There have been many occasions when we hear about women empowerment and giving equal rights to women, but I doubt if those people are planning something else in their mind. They talk about women and giving power and equity to them but are they planning to save them from being murdered before being born?

We talk about the safety of girl, with this thought in mind we think how to cure the mental sickness of the society that society which hides criminals and rapists behind the curtain of "Human Rights". But how are we going to save those girls from their own family ? That family which kills her inside the safety of her mother's womb.


There are possibly hundreds of NGOs which spent their time and money to spread awareness among our proud society. But in result there seems very little outcome of their precious efforts.

I don't really know about the whole world, but in India there are thousands of baby girls murdered before birth.

personally I want to adopt a baby girl in near or far future but its not about what I like or not its about why not everyone understand.

There could be several reasons for that including:

• The way girls are treated in the male society, they are still not considered equal.
• Increasing cases of eve teasing and rapes, Please, girls are not sex toys.
• More restriction on girls than on boys, well aren't they born from same blood and bones ?
• The old culture of downgraded behavior with girls in the families.
• Fear of dowry, the way they are still moving one day girls should ask for dowry for marrying a boy.

 Well, this is just an overview. There is more to it if you dig deeper. Recently two of such incidence came under my knowledge, but it was too late to act on the matter, however in these cases the baby was not killed but the host families loathed the girl child.

In one of the case I come to know that, the family had done some tests to identify if the baby was boy or girl. I don't know which hospital or doctor they consulted for the purpose but it was the luck of the baby that either doctor was dumb enough to not properly test it or intelligent enough to understand the circumstances and lie to the family so that they would not look for abortion. But the main sick mind characters in this case were the parents of the baby's father. However personally knowing the baby's father, I know that he is a good person and will take care of baby in a good manner.

But In second case I am really shocked that the culprit was the mother of baby. From what I heard about the case, the mother of baby was seriously crying that she had a girl instead of boy. I am really shocked that being a girl herself how can she thinks this way.

If in case you people thinking that, she may have gone through many ordeals, being a girl, and she did not wanted her baby to suffer. No Sir! this is not the matter. The Mother of baby wanted a boy only. And from what I got to hear more is that she was also taking some medicines from some possibly fake doctor to have a boy instead of a girl. Thank God there is no such medical drug yet, or else there would have been no girls in this country.

 I was talking about a friend on this matter and she said, "you can do nothing about this, already so many NGOs and people are crying out loud to make people aware but its all just a loud noise nothing else, Nothing is going to happen until you could change THE TYPICAL INDIAN THINGKING". Yes, this is what we want to change.

We don't want to mix up so many voices and make a loud noise. But to shout out together and make it loud and clear, in a hope that One day at least one life would be helped from our efforts. At least one girl would breath freely and comfortably.

All we need is a small feeling of respect and love for the girl taking birth, the girl playing with her friends, the girl seeking help from her brother, the girl seeking love and care from her father and mother, the girl seeing understanding from her life partner and the girl seeking EQUALITY from the SOCIETY.
