    Issues faced by girlchild

    • women's and children's health is a key priority for healthy


    communities. Because women constitute the foundation of
    both families and communities, their well-being is essential
    for the success of those around them.
    • Rape, trafficking, sexual exploitation, child labor, and
    beggary are some of the forms of violence perpetrated on the

    What is the meaning of son preference?

    • In several countries, parents' wish to have at least one son—son preference—can lower the
    chances of daughters being born. Son preference affects the quantity and quality of children. Son
    preference is centuries old and is driven both by economic and cultural factors (Dasgupta 2010).
    • Common wisdom is that the preference for sons is motivated by economic, religious, social and
    emotional desires and norms that favor males and make females less desirable: Parents
    expect sons—but not daughters—to provide financial and emotional care, especially in their old
    age; sons add to family wealth and property ...
    • “Bringing up a girl is like watering the neighbor’s garden”
    • Preference for sons is motivated by economic, religious, social, and emotional desires. Son preference
    is an argument of the parent's utility function as well as a result of differential expected
    returns. If old-age support comes only from sons, bias continues with growth; however, if both
    children can accumulate human capital and girls can provide old-age support, gender bias
    decreases with growth
