Saving girls from infanticide in China

A discusssion around the lunch room led me to write an article about Pink Pagoda, an organisation, which saves girls from infanticide in China.

They also have a Facebook group.

Every year hundreds of thousands of girls are killed. There are even "death hills" where parents go to leave their baby girls to die.

The very idea of seeing a hillside full of dead baby corpses is profoundly disturbing. In fact, apparently when a picture of it was shown to a Western audience the latter reacted angrily at seeing it. They didn't want to know. 

According to UN reports, there are 118 to 200 million missing women in the world - women killed at birth, denied health care, killed by violence and dying of neglect.

We are the victims of the biggest holocaust in all of human history.
