The U.N. estimates that as many as 200 million girls are missing in the world today. In India, China, and many other countries, girls are killed, aborted, and abandoned simply because they are girls - it's a gendercide. The "It's a Girl" Campaign tells the stories of women and girls who struggle to survive in India and China against all odds. Help us spread awareness about this issue and take a stand against gendercide.

Horrible! I am very proud to be a woman and I am very proud to say it out loud.... Vive la liberté d'expression et vive les femmes et les petites filles de ce monde. All together we can change that horrible situation by saying NO and it is ENOUGH. We can all working together at a better world for every citizen of Earth.

I am very proud to be a woman and I am very proud to say it out loud. Every little girls of this world has the right to live with dignity. Vive les femmes et les jeunes filles de ce monde. We all have to stand up and say NO it is ENOUGH to that HORRIBLE situation. I refuse to be on planet Earth and let some others destroy life. It is false to believe we are fine when we all know than the difference kill. When you speak another language with an accent, or when you are more round of what the society ask for or when you are black person or when you have red hair or when you are more tall than the average or when you are more poor of the others or when you are.......what ever because the list is so long........ No matter what at the end we are ALL men or women who are living on a very short period of time. So I am standing up for every one who are different by your gender or your sexual preference or your color or your origins or to be a little girl born on the wrong place of the world. I am saying NO and this is ENOUGH every one has the right be and has the right to breath and has the right to exist. We have the obligation to make sure everyone of us has a place to live with distinction. We are all in one way or the other an HUMAN.

people born free and have to living free.

♥ ho letto molti libri in merito...ad es. la storia di Suad, assurdo che debbano esserci ancora tali discriminazioni con conseguenti trattamenti atroci alle donne!

mah! Lory che ti devo dire? Hai ragione cara;-)

What a brutal practice, this is wrong in so many ways. It sickens me to know that such things are going on in the year 2012!

Let us make the difference, if possible, to a cause deep within my heart please and pray. Thank you.

This is so close within my heart, please join me .<3

The basic of this crime is people in country have no fear at all in doing such crimes.exampel is kasab,but before he was to be hanged he prayed to Allah that he did a big mistake which he wont repeat again .allah forgive me were his words.this punishment has opened the eyes of terrorist in fear for there life.similar way these criminals should be punished in public ,it's the public to decide.i would not hesitate to see these criminals shot dead in public.

Let us have deterrent laws in place and special courts to deal with issues involving women and child.

GOD, please save the girls/females of the India from the devils in the form of so call men. any kind of crime against female should be condemn. I feel shame to be indian. What we expect from our law maker (MP) who are fighting for their seats instead of helping common peoples.

NOBODY HAVE THE RIGHT TO TAKE ANOTHER LIFE, THAT'S EVIL, THEREFORE, LEAVE THE INNOCENT GIRLS ALONE...

its v unfair.its a kind of terrorism.plz stop it.
