Surgery 300 girls into boys

Doctors in the city of Indore, Madhya Pradesh state have conducted transgender surgery about 300 girls into boys after their parents pay for each surgery 2,000 pounds (equivalent to 64 million VND).

Doctors said they performed surgery because of their parents' wishes. These families do so to improve future family income.

This information has stirred up public opinion in India and around the world. Many children's and women's rights groups have condemned the action as ' socially insane behavior ', defamatory of this South Asian national woman. They stress that such abuse means that girls will no longer be safe after birth.

The number of Indian boys under 6 is more than 7 million girls.

The doctors who were hearing declared that they only brought the girls with genetic defects to the city hospital so that they could be " corrected with surgery " and they only chose to operate Asian and female Asian children .

However, activists said parents and doctors intentionally ' assigned ' their status to be able to ' turn ' them into boys. The surgery is applied by the doctor as a genitoplasty, creating a penis from the female genitalia; at the same time injecting male hormones into female bodies to become men.

Dr. VP Goswami, president of the Indian Institute of Pediatrics in Indore, said this was a shock to himself and warned parents that such surgery would make their children helpless and infertile. adulthood.

He analyzed: ' Medicine has the ability to perform Genitoplasty surgery for a normal child of any gender but those reproductive organs will not mature due to hormonal action and that will lead to infertility as well as impotence. Parents need to consider the social and psychological impact of surgery on the child '.

Madhya Pradesh state government is entering the investigation. The Indian Child Rights Protection Commission has asked the state to obtain investigation results within 15 days.

Ms. Ranjana Kumari, of the Center for Social Research and one of India's leading activists in combating female fetal killing, insists that the surgery transforms girls into boys without approval is a sign of an increasing ' social madness ' in India.

The sex ratio of birth in India has long been unbalanced, with the advantage of men due to the tendency of abortion to be girls. The reason is that Indian families are afraid to cover high marriage costs and a terrible dowry for girls of married age.

The number of male children under six years old in this country is more than 7 million female children.

The Telegraph quoted Ms. Ranjana Kumari as expressing her desperation that education could not help prevent the spread of girls being spurned in this country of many Hindus.

' In 2001, in Delhi, the birth rate was 886 girls per 1000 boys. So far, there are only 866 out of 1,000 on average. The more wealthy and the more educated, the more "kill" girls , "she said.

' People do not want to leave their properties; don't want to invest in educating a daughter or have to pay a dowry for a future bride. The greedy middle class is trying to follow money. This action is disgusting and seriously violates children's rights , 'she added.
