International MISSING Women's day

They're missing since pre-independence. They vanish every year from the census. We MURDER two MILLION a year...in urban and rural India.

Female Foeticide is one of India's most shameful secrets. It is an activity supported by doctors, encouraged by rich folks and rampant all over the place. No one gets convicted, no one gets jail time....dead babies can't fight cases in court.

March 8th is International women's day. Let's take a stand on behalf of India's missing women. Let's start by RENAMING it International MISSING women's day!

Let's get doctors to take a stand AGAINST this.

Let's take a personal pledge to squash this horrible crime in our families, peer groups and circles of influence. Agenda:

• let's shake up the Indian Medical fraternity? FIGHT-BACK members will call prominent doctors and ask them to take a public pledge NOT to encourage female foeticide.
• Let's launch a series of public awareness campaigns + activities on 8th March and keep it going right through the year? Ideas welcome!

keep the faith!
