PREVENTION OF FEMALE FOETICIDE/INFANTICDE: (Awareness program)

Working in the Salem Kalrayan hills, its objectives were aimed toward preventing female infanticide and foeticide and bringing about attitude changes with regards to the inequality of sexes. Uplift mobilized the community through women’s and youth groups, raised awareness about female infanticide and foeticide, provided necessary education and enabled the women to utilize their training and knowledge to address and overcome this problem in their communities. It also focuses on transforming these women from being beneficiaries to becoming benefactors in the community.

The women’s group and youth group activities revolved around open discussions of the underlying causes of female infanticide, and what could be done to prevent it.
