My friend Natasha send me a Youtube where SPB is singing a song about Mom. It is in Tamil and I couldn't understood it completely. But this reminded me of mothers day.
Then I came across this report on the state of world mothers. It is so sad to read it. It says that the discrimination by parents providing health care girl kids in India. Find the extract from the report. The main reason for the gender gaps in India and China is inequity of health care for female and male children. Son preference is deeply rooted in Indian and Chinese traditional culture, which results in discrimination against girls in nutrition as well as in preventive and curative health care. Girls in India are often brought to health facilities in more advanced states of illness than boys, and taken to less qualified doctors when ill. In both countries, less money is spent on girls’ health compared to boys. As a result, girls are less likely to receive the medicines and treatments they need. In India’s Punjab state, results of one study showed that expenditure on health care during the first two years of life was 2.3 times greater for sons than for daughters. I thought once the girl kid is born people will not show discrimination.
I saw the movie Juno couple of days back. The teenage pregnancy movie in US. The girls walks to the hospital for abortion. She walks back and deciding not to kill the baby. It is was great visual.
Happy Mothers day for all!!!
