Description: A makeshift after school program run for the children of migrant workers . The village of Mullahera received a cash prize from the Indian government for producing more girl than boy births. This is a new incentive from the Indian government to begin to reverse the downward trend in girl births. Up to 50 million girls and women are missing from India’s population as a result of sex discrimination according to the United Nations Children’s Fund. The accepted reason for such a disparity is the practice of female infanticide in India, prompted by the existence of a dowry system which requires the family to pay out a great deal of money when a female child is married. While practices like abortion and ultrasounds to determine the sex of a child is illegal, a black market has emerged thus keeping the number of girl children extremely low. For a poor family, the birth of a girl child can signal the beginning of financial ruin and extreme hardship.
