India has a population of over one billion. India is one of the few countries where
there are only 930 women for every 1000 men. Of the 15 million baby girls born each
year, 25% don’t live past their 15th birthday, number of deaths of young girls exceeds
those of young boys by over 300,000 each year, and every 6th infant death is due to
gender discrimination. These are just the statistics proving the actual cause. The actual
problem is being the social attitude of society towards women. Dehumanization and
marginalization of women is a global phenomenon where patriarchal systems are the
norm and women just by the very nature of their being are treated inferior to men.
