Thesis (M.A.)--University of Colorado at Denver, 1994.

This thesis analyzes female infanticide, female neglect, sex-selective abortion (female feticide), and sex pre-selection tests as methods of sex selection used to systematically eliminate females. These forms of sex selection are part of the much broader issue of social femicide. Following a discussion of the historical and cultural contexts in which the devaluation of women and girls exists in China and India, each method of sex selection is detailed in the current context. Other forms of discrimination against females are discussed, and current debates and policy implications regarding sex selection are explored. After presenting evidence of widespread discrimination and devaluation of females, the thesis concludes with the argument that reevaluating and revising cultural, ideological, political, and economic structures might help to solve the issue of social femicide.Subjects--Topical Terms:
