Sample Practice Article
Q. WRITE AN ARTICLE ON
THE TOPIC ‘KILLING
UNBORN DAUGHTERS’.
MUCH MORE THAN BAN ON PORTALS
IS NEEDED
- By Asha kumari
In India , the tribe of those doing away with
unborn daughters seems to be in no mood to
change its mindset that favours sons over
daughters. Besides , those who stand to gain from
this immoral and illegal act will continue to find
ways to beat the law. The PNDT law that prevents
the use of pre-conception diagnostic techniques
also bans advertisements of gender determination
.Yet the advertisements continue to do the rounds
on the Internet. Now the union government wants
the websites offering gender testing kits to be
blocked. Earlier , the Voluntary Health
Association of India (VHAI) , Punjab , got a ban
imposed on the websites which offer home gender
determination facility. The practice is too
widespread and requires a multi – pronged
approach.
It is not as if the governments are not aware of the
miserable gender ratio , particularly in Punjab and Haryana.
Campaigns and Positive Incentives Schemes are very much in
place. Individual efforts, NGO’s and initiatives like Nanhi
Chaon have been trying to save unborn daughters. The Punjab
Government has claimed an improvement in the gender ratio
in the age group of 0-6 years , but the PNDT law continues
to be violated by unscrupulous practitioners who are going
unpunished.
While keeping a check on registered clinics , the law
enforcing machinery has to extend its arm over unregistered
abortionists who provide a killing field to unwanted
daughters.
