Hi Susan,
Much work needs to be done indeed. I find it incredible that this strong preference for boys is still very much alive in 2009. It seems so archaic, and of course, at the same time, it is denigrating to women and girls, and by that I mean women and girls everywhere. I have read about India and how it too has an overabundance of boys because they are the preferred gender. When will we see the day when girls are valued and treasured just as much as boys?
