xiaheart: Princess Although blessed with the suffix Kaur (princess) by Guru Gobind Singh yet the little ones are facing ignorance and male chauvinism leading to a dangerously askew sex ratio in Punjab. The 2006 National Family Health Survey shows that Punjab’s overall sex ratio at birth (considered a more accurate indicator of female foeticide) was 776 against 793 in 2001. In urban areas, it goes further down to 761:1,000. Sava lakh Foundation has pledged equal opportunities for boys and girls. By dint of hard work, most girls are outperforming boys in studies. Economic empowerment of women is the only antidote to the malaise of exploitation.
