Foreigners raise awareness about discrimination against girl child in Tamil Nadu | Activists from Germany, Italy, United States, Holland and Switzerland took part in a rally in Tamil Nadu's Coimbatore city on Thursday to raise awareness about discrimination against the girl child. The activists took to the streets along with the school
children holding placards with anti-abortion messages, thereby encouraging the
people to have a girl child. The foreign activists said though the menace is not
unique to India, but here the women are forced for that. "We have taken to the
streets to encourage people to have girl child, give them life, let them live,
don't kill them, they are the next generation," said P. P. Job, organizer of the
rally. Cindy Collins, an anti abortion campaigner from the US said the Indian
women are being forced to have abortion by their husbands, by their mother-in
laws specially if they have a girl child. "We want to end discrimination of the
girl child and let girl child live," he added. |
