Through this multi-media campaign she explains China Industrial Profiles that they are also aiming at educating the masses about the consequences of what happens when women go missing at this rate and how it impacts the society. Soon we decided to get our act together and come out with ‘Mission Hazaar’ with an aim at reaching the figure of 1,000 girls per 1,000 boys in India because as per our surveys and studies, daughters in India are missing,” she adds. In her latest mission ‘Mission Hazaar’ Sonali speaks about the not-so-hidden agenda of how Indian families have long favoured sons over daughters, the distorted sex ratio, a society that is heading towards accommodating huge surplus of men and a profound shift in attitudes towards women. It is important to sustain this effort so that change really happens. Through the bike rally, we tried to make the women around us, in our homes, schools, colleges, market places, streets and public place — visible. They were asked upon their observations within their families, in schools, colleges and public spaces. Government policy can speed up this process too. As a result of this sort of mindset, we are presently facing the most distorted sex ratios in the world,” she shares.”.

Over the years we identified other areas and one of these was the issue of the skewed sex ratio.Sonali Khan, country director of Breakthrough, shares insights of her new campaign ‘Mission Hazaar’ that aims at reaching 1,000 girls per 1,000 boys sex ratio“Where are the daughters of India ” questions Sonali Khan, vice-president and country director of Breakthrough, a global human rights organisation working towards making violence and discrimination against women and girls ‘unacceptable’.” The campaign also celebrated ‘women’s right to mobility’ through a Delhi-Rohtak bike rally last month. She adds, “We asked them if they really found the girls to be missing. Sonali goes on to explain that they conducted over 10,000 interviews and found that as many as 91 per cent of parents wanted boys. And a son has always been considered a pension. The data that emerged after that was disturbing. Traditionally, since we follow patriarchy, the bloodline passes through the male side. Also about 66 per cent of those who were surveyed added that they didn’t see women in public places post sunset. Sonali says, “Breakthrough has been working in Rohtak for two years now and is one the worst affected as far as skewed sex ratio is concerned. It is a fact that the roots of son preference lie deep within the Indian culture itself.
