Our househelp of 13 years had this very belief that a son is “needed” to complete a family. They have 4 kids together all four daughters reason being just that wanting of a son despite the financial condition all have varying age gap in between but the last being born almost 12 years gap in between Despite financial struggles, she and her husband considered trying for a boy even in their 40s. But obviously sdue to healthconcerbs had to stop thing with them is even they wanted a boy they tried their best for the girls too they strongly valued education, ensuring all four daughters received good schooling. Now, her eldest is a teacher, the second has a corporate job, and the third recently started working. The youngest is well cared for by her sisters. Recently, the two eldest daughters who very well just got married but both still provide and support fir their parents not just that they recently bought their parents a home something they can at-least retire knowing they own! Daughters can be exactly what a Son can or should it just how much you are willing to invest

Males don't respect women even in America
That midwife saved the girls from hell. I was violated sexual. And it destroyed the psyche
Wherever there is extreme poverty all kinds of evil happens, be it London or America
I cried when i saw Monica
Let's work hard to give them a home.
This is why the right in India doesn't like BBC. Because they reveal the dirty truth…
﴿وَإِذَا الْمَوْؤُودَةُ سُئِلَتْ ۞ بِأَيِّ ذَنبٍ قُتِلَتْ﴾
oh god why this is so painful to watch..I couldn't finish this video in three sittings
In school, we were always taught about issues like female foeticide and social oppression against women, but, like many others, I never truly understood their gravity—I just learned about them for exams. However, after watching this, I realized how deeply messed up it really is. These are the things that should be shown in schools because they have the power to open people's eyes. Also, how is it that dowry is banned, yet it remains a part of most weddings?

no documentary has made me, a man. cry. this did
I love love love documentary like this
North india 🤡
If you dont want them, give them to me by God's grace.
Kali yuga is indeed a very dark age.
I don't know why I was crying while watching this.
In Islam, even aborting baby is considered as murder.

These ladies aren’t professional registered midwives – they’re dai’s who have had extremely responsible positions without recognition or support.
If the state governments invested in nurse education and post graduate midwifery education the quality of education within a female dominated profession would improve which would improve services for women, alongside quality information sharing from midwife to mother.
in her last interview – all the question was about if she felt guilty for what she did, but the ans of god's will broke my heart – how stone cold people like them are to take life and still not accept it, for once she felt her mistake when she met monica , but later again she didnt want to accept in infront of people, being a woman they should be the ones realising but they dont.
Brahmins are the biggest doers of this practice!!
Oh god where are you really… Why you sent us on the earth..why why
Great initiative..
Indian media should learn something from BBC..
INDIA IS GREAT DUE TO THE GREAT PEOPLE THAT EXISTS HERE.. JAI HIND..
I can’t understand the people bringing up abortion either they don’t understand what the real issue is or are just to ignorant to think they just found a solution , if every family that didn’t want a girl child aborted it after knowing it , India would be no more in a few years the male to female ratio would mess up and country would cease to exist believe it or not it’s the truth
such a tragic yet beautiful video. as a woman, nothing ever hits home more than seeing the happiness of other women. this has really motivated me to adopt and give a life to a baby girl.
Here we are looking to adopt, but can't due to complex laws. We would happily adopt these babies.
I remember my mom and masi used to talk about how my grandfather was really disappointed at the time of my birth ….he told my parents to throw me off the bridge while returning from the hospital…but my grandmother being the baddie she was …told him to jump off the bridge instead 😂 …this make me laugh and cry both at the same time….cuz granny is no more …and I'm the one who usually cooks for my grandfather…. ironic (ICONIC) ….
I wonder if some people know that without women, there'd be no human beings🤔 like at all. So killing them off or saying that we're less valuable doesn't make sense to me. Bro,we literally create life.
When my mother was pregnant with me when my brother was 2, my paternal grandmother told my mother that if it's a boy, then come home. But if it's a girl, then go to your own parents' home. When my paternal uncle first held me, he exclaimed while laughing, "Oh, he's heavy like a Pehlwan." My dad told him I was a girl. My uncle immediately handed me back and left the hospital. Mom and dad left the house and went to my maternal grandparents'. My father wasn't joyous I was a girl, either. But in under six months since I was born, my parents went from struggling to save money and sleeping on sarkari bed to having a customized queen-sized bed, a dresser, a wooden shoe rack, a refrigerator, a washing machine… Now my father really believes that girls are a blessing lol.
P.S. The uncle I mentioned had a girl just two years after I was born 😀
Then you see some men equating dowry with alimony . And wanna keep prevailing dowry 😢😢
You see some men hating all women rights just becoz they're not able to marry there liked women coz they aren't able to meet financial standards ..
This is why both men and women should live in a separate house from their parents .
It is these aspects that make human a human.. Great Job BBC for documenting such effort by the NGOs and how one woman’s effort save kids transformed many and saves humanity. when we do not have good leaders who are not wanting to address problems like Poverty and social issues, people turn on each other and do harm to one another. By abolishing poverty and making life not so hard to live, demands for Dowry should come down and abolished completely with education and empowerment.. Yet our leaders are busy dividing us by religion.
I got goosebumps and shivers when I saw that baby in the bushes.
I’m so sorry to all the ones that didn’t get found and sorry to any baby that’s been though that.
We’ve failed as humans.
Why does BBC cover only the negative aspects of India🤣🤣every single time…dimbo BBC
I wish I knew how I could do this kind of work to find out my own story. I want to know how and when I was born. I want to know how I got to the orphanage. I want to know who was involved.
As a woman who was adopted from India, this story hits hard. I don’t know exactly when I was born. Sometime at the end of 2000 and the beginning of 2001. I know roughly the area I was from and what my papers say. Somehow, I ended up at an orphanage and then I was adopted to the United States. My feelings on my adoption are very complicated. So please don’t tell me I got lucky.
I wish so badly to know my family. I have searched for years and continue to do so. I wish so badly to know the circumstances of my birth and my adoption. I wish to know the face of my mother. One day I hope that I can.
Knowing that a story like this could have so easily been mine is hard to express how it makes me feel.
I just want to show her that I was worth whatever she went through to have me. I want to make her proud.
I would like to think that there are people that would want to meet me.
Anila madam is a God sent person❤
I can't watch it beyond 3:16 mark. This is absolute cruelty.
Sir it is a privilege to know there are person like you who are giving a life time to save this children and the families who adopted those children may god bliss you
I feel so sick to my core watching this 😭
I am a Bihari by origin but my dad shifted to Mumbai before I was born. He always had a different take on life as compared to his peers in Bihar as he was educated and broad minded. My dad married my mom without dowry. He had me, a daughter as a first born but he always gave me the best possible. He later told me when I was born a lot of his relatives consoled him for having a girl child but he was happy. He treated me special , so special that no man could live up to it. My dad was okay with me being the only child but I wanted a sibling and used to cry for one. Reluctantly they did have another child, a boy. But I know my parents never treated us any different. Mumbai is a safe city so we could stay out a bit late and the same deadline was applicable for the both of us. Neither of us were allowed to have night overs. I still think he deserved a better daughter but I tried to be as good as was possible for me..
