Hundreds of thousands of young girls in India die each year because of invisible discrimination”, a research published in Lancet Global Health, reports Guardian, broadcast Periscope.
Researchers say that an average of 239,000 girls under the age of five die each year in India, or 2.4 million in the decade, due to their gender.
Most deaths were the cause of neglect, from family members, and from health caregivers, just as through an invisible “, routine, and continuous” prejudice for girls. Studies have shown that Indian girls receive less education, have poorer food, and receive less medical attention than boys, writes Periscope.
In countries with normal conditions and where such gender prejudices do not exist, the mortality rate for women under the age of five should be smaller than for boys because of a biological natural advantage. /Periscopi
