Six GTA Hospitals Won’t reveal Fetal Sex during Ultrasound

The Globe and Mail with Kripa Sekhar

If hospitals are worried about female feticide, they should be conducting community consultations before shaping any policies, said Kripa Sekhar, executive director of South Asian Women’s Centre in Toronto. While concerned about the possibility of female feticide, she believes more research should be done before conclusions can be reached. “You want to protect women, but in the process are we looking at a small segment of women that might be profiled negatively and then a whole community becomes (stigmatized)?” she asked.
