My state is Uttar Pradesh with sex ratio 901 to 925. The States of North-east India, Kerala and Chhattisgarh and other South Indian states have better sex ratio. Maharastra, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Uttarakhand, Jammu-Kashmir, Punjab and Haryana have sex ratio below 900.
In many parts of India, parents prefer to have sons and find ways to have the girl child aborted before she is born. Such sex-selective abortion led to a decline in child sex ratio. There are reports of various kinds of harassment, exploitation and violence against women. The given poster depicts the crime against women.
