Hello World!

Hello Friends,

I am Jismy John, a master student of Global development and social justice, at St. Johns University. One of the main objectives of this course is to be aware of and to discover the problems and elements of underdevelopment from a global perspective. As a citizen of India, one of the major problems that I noticed was the discrimination towards women due to various reasons. As a woman and as a member of the society, I think that female feticide is one of the major injustices that exist in our society, which should be eliminated, as all human beings have the equal right to live. I will be focusing on this topic all throughout this course, so that I will be able to get at least some real data on this problem and contribute to change this situation. However since it is my first blog, and as a beginner, I have also included some information on books and articles with respect to female feticide in India. As long as you see one part of the society as unimportant, it is very difficult to have the proper development. So this is an important issue with respect to global development. If anybody is interested in this topic you are most welcome to  share your ideas and ideals.

Thank you
