Advertisement: Girl Child
15 May, 2008 - 00:07 — शंतनू
Recently, friend send me following ad:
The ad is in english. Majority of India's population does not understand english. I really wonder for whom exactly this ad was created.
1) For those people who understand english: People who know english are educated. They should already be knowing that girl child should not be aborted. If they don't know, then there is some serious issue regarding the overall education system.
2) For those people who don't understand english: Consider that child abortion is done where education has not reached and people are illiterate, have blind faith on traditions. Why would someone create an ad for such people in english?

Oh?
Maybe it's just a sexist ad, created by like-minded people?
girl child....
hi shantanu...
I agree to your point that its in english and hardly anyone uneducated would ever get it....
but its more important in the urban areas where girl child is aborted more frequently....
according to latest census....Delhi has 922Females per 1000males; over 643females foetuses aborted in a year- does it ring an alarm....????
Read elisabeth's book May you the mother of 100 sons....though she wrote 20 yeras back...but trust me nothing has changed....its just the same...even worse...
I know of cases where people do not go to clinics or doctors for detection but instead send across their blood samples and amino fluid overseas and get the sex of foetus detected.....and answer to athing called girl in the womb is MFiprost or something something like that.....
High time we woke up......
Its no Sexist ad too!!
