BBC World Service - Dear Daughter, You are wanted

It’s a girl! Bucking the trend of wanting a son

It’s a girl! Bucking the trend of wanting a son. #DearDaughter

It’s a girl! Bucking the trend of wanting a son. Shakti was keen to have a daughter, but explains that in India there’s a lot of cultural pressure to have a son. When she was growing up, people were always asking her parents if they were going to try for a boy - making her feel unwanted. Now, Shakti writes to her daughter explaining just how much she is loved.
