Female infanticide 10
• Female infanticide is the intentional
  killing of infant girls.
• In addition to the active methods
  undertaken to eliminate baby girls
  soon after birth, neglect and
  discrimination leading to death and
  sex-selective abortion are also means
  by which many female children die
  each year.
• These phenomena are most prevalent
  in patriarchal societies in which the
  status of women is low and a
  preference for sons is built into the
  cultural ideology.
• Female infanticide cuts across all
  social and economic boundaries.
• Thus, the practice involves a wide
  range of location-specific and

  entirely
  dependent child
  under “one year
  of age” who is
  killed by mother,
  parents or others
  in whose care the
  child is
  entrusted”.

Who: Girl children who are born in societies
             where
