As an example, in 2013 a 33 year old woman had a ‘miscarriage’ and had been sentenced to prison for 20 years. This happened in Indiana, USA. She was sentenced to prison because of feticide and neglect of a dependant however why didn’t she give the child up for adoption?

A higher literacy rate is an essential requirement for any nation to bring it at par on a global platform with other nations. No nation looks a promising nation if it has a stable economic growth rate but poor literacy rates. Education after all is a fundamental right which is ensured to the citizens. It needs to be highlighted that India is a country where the extent of disparities is such that one nation has achieved a literacy rate higher than 90 percent. Illiteracy can be termed as the…

be designed to address the issue. As an international social worker, working for a non-government agency, my organization would address female infanticide, specifically in India.

It is heavily imbedded in their traditions and culture (Davis, "It 's a girl", 2012). However, the gender ratio has…

Women’s Rights in America Women have run for Congress, broken olympic records, gone to space, became successful in their fields of study. Yet, women receive less pay in the work field, seemingly to be because men are looked at as being able to get the job done, and do more. Men may also be looked at as worth more.

that abortion is wrong, so Mr. George made a good point there. Mr. George, however, makes a careless statement, “Frequently, people who are not religious, or who are only weakly so, begin to have doubts about the moral defensibility of deliberate feticide.” (187) Too me he is saying that just because a person isn’t religious they are more frequent to get an abortion than someone who is?

As a female in India, the challenge of survival begins at birth, first overcoming female feticide, then being victim to malnourishment, potentially abuse, and lack of access to proper sanitation facilities.
