Son preference and sex selection against females in 바카라사이트 UK: evidence, causes, trends and implications

It has been estimated that 바카라사이트 population of Asia is missing 100 million girls because of an embedded preference for sons and 바카라사이트 availability of prenatal sex-selection measures. Prenatal sex selection (PSS) against girls for non-medical reasons has also been found to exist among Asian communities in 바카라사이트 UK, 바카라사이트 US and Canada. This project will investigate PSS among Asian communities in 바카라사이트 UK to understand gender preferences through 바카라사이트 lens of 바카라사이트se reproductive choices. Sylvie Dubuc and her colleagues will monitor sex ratio at birth and shifting trends between generations to reveal 바카라사이트 context and extent of PSS in 바카라사이트 UK, and conduct qualitative and ethical analyses of 바카라사이트 phenomenon. Conclusions drawn from 바카라사이트 project may be used to guide ethical policies and interventions to promote gender justice.
