Make social environment less hostile for women
Though female foeticide is a national shame, the social fabric and government policies are increasingly tilted against women. In the given cultural contest, there will be a rare couple opting for a female child. The day grooms become available without a hefty price tag, female foeticide will end. The need is to turn the mindset of the people against the gender bias and end the imbalance in socio-economic situations, so that women get to live with dignity and honour. A girl child is unsafe in the womb and even outside. Rapes and sexual harassment at workplaces are reaching demonic proportions. Indeed, social environment is becoming increasingly hostile for women. There is official and public apathy towards such horrendous acts. Recently, only four MLAs attended a workshop on ‘sex selection and elimination of females’ held for all Punjab legislators. Look at the fate of the Women’s Reservation Bill and the Punjab Government’s decision to abolish free education for girls up to graduation. Victim’s sexual history and not the rapist’s act becomes the central point in the trial. Only 10 per cent of the Judges would want their daughters to seek legal redress for domestic violence. Seventeen laws on female foeticide have failed to resolve. The resolve of the Medical Council of India to disallow doctors guilty of female foeticide to practice needs to be iterated. We the members of All Daughters Club feel blessed and privileged to enjoy the genuine care, concern, affection and sincerity of daughters and would prefer to father a girl child again.

Please do your own homework assignment. (I'm not sure I'd like to write on this topic, though.)
