Why The Systematic Elimination of Millions of Women from India and China is a Genocide



This is one of the most important question that my campaign The 50 Million Missing is putting to the world. Why is the world standing by silently as more than 50 million women have been systematically annihilated from the country?



I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO MAKE CLEAR, THAT THE STAND OF THE CAMPAIGN IS PRO-CHOICE. WE WANT ABORTION TO REMAIN A LEGAL OPTION FOR INDIVIDUAL WOMEN IN INDIA AND ELSEWHERE. HOWEVER WE ARE DEMANDING THAT THE LAWS PERTAINING TO FEMALE FETICIDE, INFANTICIDE, DOWRY MURDERS, HONOR KILLINGS, AND OTHER FORMS OF FEMICIDES THAT TARGET GIRLS AND WOMEN BE ADDRESSED BY THE GOVERNMENT THROUGH THE ACCOUNTABLE IMPLEMENTATION OF LAWS.



In the campaign's Q and A forum I answer why we need to recognize this as a genocide.
