Female infanticide in Pakistan

Alright kiddo, today we're going to talk about something called "female infanticide" which unfortunately happens in some parts of Pakistan.

You know how sometimes we see some people who think that girls are not as good as boys and that boys are more important? Well, this kind of thinking can sometimes make people do a really bad thing.

When a baby girl is born, some families may not be happy about it because they wanted a baby boy instead. This can make them mad and they might hurt the baby girl or even not take care of her properly. In really bad cases, they might even kill the baby girl. And this is called female infanticide.

It's important to understand that every baby is special and deserves love and care, regardless of whether they are a boy or a girl. No one should be treated badly or even killed because of their gender. And that's why it's important for people to learn to respect and value girls just as much as boys.
