It's a Girl!

The heartbreaking truth of gender-based violence in India and China, where thousands of baby girls are subjected to infanticide, abandonment, or forced to fend for themselves annually, solely due to their gender.

The documentary "It's a Girl" exposes the widespread phenomenon of gendercide, where girls are killed, aborted, or abandoned simply because of their gender. The United Nations estimates that 200 million girls are missing due to this practice. The film explores the cultural and traditional roots of this issue, as well as the lack of effective action to address it. It shares the stories of abandoned and trafficked girls, women who suffer violence, and mothers fighting to save their daughters' lives, highlighting the need for change.
