Gender discrimination across the life cycle
INFANT MORTALITY - Gender differentials in infant mortality. After birth, sonpreference continues to persist leading to the neglect of girls and their lack of access to nutrition, health and maternal care in theses critical early year. MATERNAL MORTALITY - In the year 2000, India alone accounted for one quarter of material deaths worldwide. - Today, one women dies every seven minutes from a pregnancy related cause. - High rates of anaemia amongst pregnant women and low proportion of births attended by skilled health personnel. For example. In AP, 56.4% of pregnant women aged 15-49 are anaemic but 74.2% of births are attended by skilled health personnel
SEX RATIO:
India
is one of the few countries worldwide with an adverse child sex ratio in favor of boys. Nationwide, 7000 fewer girls than expected are born each day largely due to sex determination. In 80% of districts in India the situation is getting worse. For example, in 14 districts of Haryana and Punjab, there are even fewer than 800 girls per 1000 boys. While the PNDT (Pre-Natal Diagnostic Testing) Act is passed in India in 1994, enforcement has been lagging with only one conviction to date.
