"50 million missing" project   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #2071 of 2642 |
There's a Flickr.com group started by Rita Banerji aimed at raising awareness of female infanticide in India. She invites everyone to upload photos of Indian women and girls to represent the missing people. Here is her statement (below). At this point there are only 365 photos. Some beautiful photos, and a great place to share yours with other concerned people.

About 50 million women are currently missing from India's population. Through rampant feticide, infanticide, and the murder of young women by their husbands and inlaws for dowry, India has managed to invert its population ratio from 10:9, women to men, as is normal for any population, to 9:10. Further more India has even warped the gender ratio for 1/5 of the entire human population.

It is the intention of this website to have every one of the 50 million missing represented by a photograph. These can be of Indian women or girls, of any age, and community represented as portraits or shown as engaged in various activities -- which is life. It would help very much if their is a small personal commentary with the photo about the girl or woman so we can invert the process of dehumanizing Indian women. This is India's silent genocide -- and it is time for it to stop.
