i hope that everyone will watch this documentary. i believe this is the first of two parts. it's heartbreaking and very tough to watch. it is estimated that between 60-100 million women are presently missing from the population bc of gender discrimination, sex slavery, and death.

what does it mean to be missing from the population because of gender discrimination?
very sad, too heavy so had to stop watching
I suppose killed, sold into slavery, neglected, unprovided for. Those numbers and that phrasing us from sheryl wudunn. In india, africa and elsewhere,, once a girl baby is no longer breast feeding it is not uncommon that food for her is deemed less necessary than for her male siblings, same with medical, so there is high rate of death for girls after a year old. not sure exactly how she gets at these figures but i've been trying to find more details myself.
That was me, btw.
