Female Foeticide and Girl Infanticide

A GIRL'S RIGHT TO LIVE
FEMALE FOETICIDE AND GIRL INFANTICIDE
 
 
 FAWCO contributed to this comprehensive report, specifically written and published on the occasion of the 2007 session of the United Nations Commission on the Status of  Women. This 32 page document is a detailed and impressive compilation of Information that addresses serious human rights violations against the girl child.  
   
 
In addition FAWCO has joined the members of the CONGO Working Group on the Girl Child, in a statement to reaffirm and call attention to the inherent dignity and the equal and inalienable rights of the girl child, expressing our concern in regard to the practices of girl infanticide and female foeticide, which deny the girl-child the most basic human right, the right to be born.
