The demographics expert Christopher Guilmoto from the Paris Research Institute for Development (IRD) has calculated that selective abortions and infanticide have cost in Asia alone, 117 million women’s lives. A UN report from 2010 makes only China and India responsible for over 85 million prevented woman’s lifes, in the middle of the economic boom. Indian and Chinese researchers finally concede this developmenr after they have been silent a long time. The Chinese Academy of Social Sciences calculated that in 2020 in China, 30 to 40 million women would be missing in the ages of 10 to 29 years. Indian researchers took the censuses of the last 20 years that up to twelve million unborn girls were killed 1991-2011 by selective abortion in India.
But for doctors in India and China abortions already have become a business of hundreds of millions of dollars and technology makes the business easy. General Electric and Siemens have developed in recent years in China and India new ultrasound machines , which cost only a fraction of the price of the equipment manufactured in the West. They sell them by thousands. New models can even work solar powered and are mobile so they can be sent to even the remotest villages.
The big politics conceals the massive destruction of female fetuses and lifes consistently. When United Nations fund a conference on the subject, it’s held in the remotest countries like Vietnam. In Europe, a lonely Swiss Member of the european government draws the attention to the cause. She is called Doris Stump and has found out that in Armenia , Albania, Azerbaijan and Georgia a similar percentage of women are missing as in India and China. She warns of the consequences : trafficking of women, more prostitution, more violence in families.
But hardly anyone is listening. Western politicians constantly travel to India or China and speak especially in Beijing with a raised index finger on the safeguarding of human rights. But no one has dared to talk about the millions of gender murders in these countries.
