An overwhelming majority of 117 millions “missing” girls in Asia are from India and china. The country’s sex ratio of 914girls for every 1000 boys under the age of six is poorer even than Vietnam’s figure of 899 girls. China appears even more casual about the future of the girl with only 847 girls.

The UNFPA says that 102 or 106 boys should be born for every 100 girls but the fact is that much fewer girls are3 getting born. Activists say that this means that the technology is being misused to determine the sex of the unborn child and thereafter to abort it if it is a girl.

Doctors are not happy with the observation made by the UN that marks their too as the culprit. But the issue here is that we have to change the mindset being set by people not the technology.
