Women forced to abort their babies often commit suicide.

To bring attention to this horrific problem, documentary filmmakers and human rights groups created a film titled “It's a Girl.” It tells the stories of women who are pressured to literally kill for a son, and of mothers who would do anything to save their daughters.
