EFFECTS OF INFANTICIDE
The phenomenon of female infanticide is as ancient as many profencies, and has likely accounted for millions of gender-selective deaths throughout history. It remains a critical concern in a number of “Third World” countries today, notably the two most populous countries on earth, China and India. In all cases, specifically female infanticide reflects the low status accorded to women in most parts of the world; it is arguably the most brutal and destructive manifestation of the anti-female bias that pervades “patriarchal” societies. Female infanticide is the intentional killing of baby girls due to the preference for male
babies and from the low value associated with the birth of females.
