What is it about the female gender that has rendered it so hateful to the culture that women are routinely subject to the most unimaginable horrors, including rape, murder, infanticide, imposed illiteracy, infidelity, and the subjugation of spirit that goes under the name of 'dowry'?

The damaging impact of active gender discrimination – such as bride burning and female infanticide – is clear.

Neonaticide (killing infants that are less than one day old), infanticide (killing infants that are more than one day old), and the practice of disposing of female children in favor of male offspring are not only barbaric; they have led to imbalanced gender ratios in many emerging markets.

Families’ preference that their one child be male led to innumerable sex-selective abortions, as well as female infanticide and abandonment.
