A. GLIMPSE OF ACTIVITIES RELATING TO FEMALE FOETICIDE |
| |
You are aware that the declining number of females per 1000 males is a matter of concern in the country . One of the reasons attributed for this is the practice of determination of sex of the foetus and aborting it, if, found to be a female. In order to check the misuse of such technology. Pre-conception and Pre-natal Diagnostic Techniques (PC & PNDT)) Act is being implemented in the country. This Act prohibits sex selection in any form and also bans advertisement relating to sex selection.
It is, nevertheless, recognized that mere legislation is not enough to deal with this problem which has roots in social behaviour and prejudices . Hardinge Medical College Alumni Association activist have been very active on this front. A number of awareness generation and IEC activities are being undertaken all over the country by Lady Hardinge Medical College Alumni Association along with IMA, FOGSI and other NGOs. |
