We’ve all heard about India’s rape crisis, but not everyone knows that it’s the result of the larger problem of gender inequality. According to UNICEF, India is the worst place to be born a girl. The birth of a baby girl is considered a burden and a curse by many families. As a result, hundreds of newborn girls are killed every year, and over 47% of adolescent girls suffer from illness, malnutrition and medical neglect. The girls who survive are vulnerable to human trafficking, as they are often abandoned or sold as child brides and bonded labor.
