One woman at a time
...a door to door campaign in two mandals, Chennur and Chinta Komma Dinne to advise:
-
Pregnant women and their families about the value of daughters
-
Avoiding scanning for sex determination of the child
-
Refuse to abort knowing that they are pregnant with a girl baby
-
The legal implications of foetal sex determination, and abortion of a female foetus
-
That it is a punishable offence under PCPNDT Act
-
Doctors who conduct sex determination are punishable by law, along with the mother, father and the families concerned
-
-
That domestic violence against women is punishable
-
Enrolment of the girl child in school
-
That child marriages are against the law
In Chennur and C.K.Dinne mandals where we worked, the sex ratio was Chennur - 1001 girls to 1000 boys, and C.K.Dinne - 998 girls to 1000 boys.
