This flip chart is about sex determination and female foeticide. This
would help sensitize health educators, teachers, ANMs, health workers
or development workers about the growing violence against women.
This flip chart is part of the campaign against sex determination, female

It was since 1982 that women and health groups started agitating
about increasing discrimination and violence against women, sex
linked abortion,misuse of medical technology e.g. amniocentesis and
ultra sound for sex determination.

The census figures and other figures have shown a deterioration of
female ratio inspite of an act making sex determination for female
foeticide illegal. This flip chart is basically a simple tool to facilitate
discussion of the biases, fears, anxieties that women face and the
pressure put on them by the family members, and how issues of
discrimination and violence could be addressed.
The flip chart attempts to raise concerns related to women's physical,
mental, social, and economic security.

It is an attempt to address the existing biases, discrimination and
violence against women of which female foeticide is just one facet.

MAKE LISTS OF WHAT THEY WOULD WANT, EVEN
