Three Deadliest Words - It's A Girl !

In India, China and many other parts of the world today, girls are killed, aborted and abandoned simply because they are girls. The United Nations estimates as many as 200 million girls are missing in the world today because of this so-called "gendercide".

This documentary film tells the stories of abandoned and trafficked girls, of women who suffer extreme dowry-related violence, of brave mothers fighting to save their daughters' lives, and of other mothers who would kill for a son. Global experts and grassroots activists put the stories in context and advocate different paths towards change, while collectively lamenting the lack of any truly effective action against this injustice.

Ridiculous, absolutely sickening and disgusting that some people would do that. Their not fit to be parents.

Whether a couple have a girl or boy, they should consider it as a blessing.

Some things will never change.

I agree, but we cannot leave it at that we need to get to the root problem - Why are girls disliked, why are they abandoned or worst, killed ?

One problem is that the boy-side are so full of lobh - greed, that they will make impossible demands upon a girls family when marriage takes place. If they do not get what they desire then they make trouble for the girl and her family.

Until we can get through to the bozzo's then when a girl is born all the parents can think about is how are we going to get her married and how can we afford it.

But that's just it Bhunda, that's just the way people think. You can't change people's mentality and attitude towards something like this.

Guru Sahib already told Gursikhs that we shouldn't marry our daughters into a family who condone this act.

I can't believe that old woman is proud of killing and burying her 8 girls. The way she openly casually admitted it like it's a normal everyday thing, which it probably is format of them.

Ww can help the abandoned children some how, but can't change their their thinking. Because of the economy in India people are using the excuse of dowry and other thongs for killing their daughters.

Even here in UK, although people don't resort to killing their daughters people aren't extremely happy when they know they are having a girl, some will act like there has been a death in the family.

Yeh we can educate people, but it still won't stop them, this is something that has been going on for years and most likely will continue.

[Bundha]

Maybe just as an initial start we could do something positive even if it is on a small scale.

What if we set up a small website where youngpeople - and it is going to be the next generation that can sort this out - can signon and register and make a pledge that they will disregard jaat/paat when they or their children get married and that they will not demand a dowry. Could have an image of Guru Granth Sahib Ji and the pledge would be done and their names would be there for all to see. The more people who sign up the better.

Hmm I see what you mean. But kind of can't see people wanting to sign that pledge, because people like that are proud of admitting they believe in jaat/paat and that they want the whole dowry along with it. They don't see nothing wrong with it.

Parents nowadays need a license to have children.

I think there's an orphanage in India where abandoned children are taken in and taken care of.

But you know something, you will find that in most cases the woman is forced to have an abortion, if not she is beaten and is beaten is she aborts her unborn baby. Newly wedded brides are beaten for not meeting the familys dowry demand.

I think with the help of the Sikh community and donations, Khalsa AId should look into opening a shelter or something

for women like that, where they're provided with support and counselling, etc.

There should be a place for victims where they can go.

Most likely they have got bo where to go and that's why they just put up with this unbearable pain.

I'd wipe out that woman at 2:33 in an instant if I ever meet her.....evil b***h saying she's killed 8 girls and laughing about it.

[Avtar95]

Cursed those are who kill their daughters

kings are born from women

In india the birth rate is 900 females to 1000 males

[Guest Worrying]

Sad that punjab has the highest female foeticide rates in india if not the world y is this. Cant. Remember the report but it x might b human rights watchdog

[m4ndy]

This is very upsetting, I don't think the world will ever change this act. Girls are always looked down upon but without girls the world wouldn't even exist. At this rate the world will become all male what will happen then can anyone imagine? Its a perception of cost especially in Asian communties girls are considered expensive, but we should ask ourselves whose demanding the cost males until this tradition dies, girls will continue to die... a girl can be anything she wants to be and only god can be the judge of death, no other human being has the right to kill, those that do will face the consequences in time karma has a way of coming around.

If we don't see god in all, we don't see god at all.
