Female Foeticide

The sun rises with the birth of a son, but vanishes with curse of a daughter. We can look centuries back, and even today, that most female children and women have been fight a battle, even before they arrive in the world, and where a woman is the cause of growth in mankind, she herself is slowly being disappeared by manmade laws, customs, traditions, religious beliefs and sophisticated medical technology, resulting in a lower status in society for girls as well as women. An example can be taken in India, where many social groups believe the birth of a female child is a negative investment and she is not a producer but rather a consumer. This ideology has become discrimination toward female children and women, which has buried them with negative emotions and less self-respect.

They don't know about their rights and fourteen out of twenty women were in favor of female foeticide .

The status of a woman in society can be relevant by their economic role, health, education, and performance in the professional world. Meanwhile women have often been issued a lower status then men commonly all around the world, commonly in Asian and Middle Eastern countries it had been embedded not only with sociology by within deep roots of religion.
