The campaign claims that the practice of female foeticide (sex-selective abortion) has created a worrying gap in the population and the death of women in Indian society has led to the illegal trafficking of girls from neighbouring countries.
The campaign hopes to raise a 50,000 name online petition by 8th March 2009 that it will present to the Indian Government; to raise funds to support 7,000 sex workers in the red light area of Calcutta and to raise public awareness with a flashmob style street protest in London.
