In Indian society, the gender discrimination against girls is manifested through a series of disadvantages beginning from before their birth and carrying across their health, nutrition, education, mobility, employment, inheritance, and decision-making roles. The rise in the child sex ratio stands as one of the significant measures of this discrimination. According to 2011 Census of India, the national child sex ratio in the group of children from 0 to 6 years dropped to 918 girls for every 1000 boys in this age category. This decline demonstrates the impact of the combined forces of the son preference, sex selective abortion, the differential treatment of girls, and the decreased social status attributed to daughters.
