Gendercide is a terrible situation when one gender is treated differently than the other, and people within that gender are discriminated against and even killed because of their gender. This mostly happens in some parts of the world, where girls and women are treated more unfairly than boys and men. In some cases, people choose to abort pregnancies when they find out the baby is a girl. This is wrong because all people—male or female—should be treated equally and be given the same opportunities.
