Kudimaari, in Punjabi, means the act of killing a girl-child: female infanticide or feticide. This blog is an attempt to understand and contribute to rooting out female feticide in the Punjabi community. News articles, poems, opinion pieces, videos, debates, book reviews, links to other resources constitute the milieu of this blog. The aim is twofold: to inform and to persuade. |
