b'In this #asiaforlifepodcast, we discuss "gendercide". Everyone agrees that if we get rid of too many girls, then it will create massive demographic problems in Asia, and will probably lead to serious human rights abuses.\\n\\u2027\\nBut that\'s not why it\'s wrong.\\n\\u2027\\nAs a background for the discussion, we talk about Sita, the baby girl who was buried alive in India a few weeks ago. Incredibly, she survived, and will be adopted.\\n\\u2027\\nObviously, the people you know are going to say that gendercide is wrong. And you might never personally encounter an instance of it. But the root problem is still very widespread, and it\'s very uncomfortable--and it\'s easier to ignore.\\n\\u2027\\nRemember, this stuff happens all the time, but it rarely makes international news. So, do people really care? And if so...why?\\n\\u2027\\n#gendercide #letgirlsbegirls #india #china #sexselection #sexselectiveabortions #\\u5370\\u5ea6 #\\u6027\\u5225\\u6ec5\\u7d55 #\\u7dad\\u8b77\\u751f\\u547d #\\u611b\\u60dc\\u751f\\u547d #asiaforlifepodcast\\n\\u2027\\nRead more: https://www.asiaforlife.com/remembering-why-its-wrong-to-commit-gendercide/'
