Petition: Stop killing girls in China


The fallout of China's One Child Policy continues to mount as economic and demographic crisis develop. There are now 40 million more men than women, preventing many men from finding brides and causing an epidemic of sex trafficking within the country.

Yet despite the growing dangers to China's future, the Chinese government refuses to end the One Child Policy. And some would say it is too late to reverse the damage. In cities such as Shanghai and Beijing, the total fertility ratio – the number of children born to mothers of child-bearing age -- has fallen to well below replacement levels. This leaves China with a demographic crisis of far more elderly than the working age population can support.

What is it going to take for China to end the One Child Policy? Seemingly nothing! But those in positions of power should be making their voice heard, and you can demand they do so by signing our petition telling world leaders to end gendercide in China!
