About
The 50 Million Missing Campaign is a fund-free, grassroots, global campaign to end the ongoing female genocide in India. It was founded by author and gender activist, Rita Banerji, in 2006. The campaign does not raise funds and runs on volunteer effort. For more on that click here.
More than 50 million women have been systematically exterminated from India’s population in three generations, through the gender-specific infliction of violence in various forms, such as female feticide through forced abortions, female infanticides, dowry murders, and honor killings. [For more click here]
GOALS OF THE CAMPAIGN:
1. RAISE PUBLIC AWARENESS: To make the public aware of the scale of the ongoing female genocide and to arouse public consciousness and moral accountability for this genocide, nationally and globally, and urge community based action for justice.
2. LOBBY FOR INTERNATIONAL ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF GENOCIDE: To lobby for the international recognition of this gender-specific mass elimination as “genocide” under the 1948 U.N. Convention on Genocide Act. [Click here for more].
3. LOBBY FOR TIME-BOUND ACTION TO END THIS GENOCIDE: To lobby for Governmental and international action to stop this genocide: We want to have the government of India commit to a time-line within which India’s female genocide will be contained, and all associated practices like dowry, dowry murders, infanticides and feticides eradicated.

thank you for your work!
Horrible! I am unquestionably sharing this issue with my friends!
If you are refering to the rural areas, I still can’t believe this. I have been in Bombay all my life, and in my whole career of 40 years, only 2 girls died at the age of 23-24, they were in my college. Other than that, old women, and that too only one. I don’t know a single woman, girl, sister, friend etc who has seen even one death in her family of any other woman in our social circle.
You probably live on a different planet Neha! What can we say?
open your eyes…
im with the CAMPAIGN on this one. ive been watching south asia newsline for almost 3 years now and every time they show a film of a street in India you can see a lot more men than women. even some streets in Iraq have more women. there it just depends on the security situation. in India however evey street in every city clearly shows that women are missing. even in cities with good security such as new delhi you see far more men on the street than women. so Neha you must be blind or somthing to not see it every time you leave your house!
thats because women arent typically allowed to leave the house in india….
The 50 Million Missing Campaign was founded in December 2006 by author and gender-activist Rita Banerji . Today it is an extensive, online, international campaign, which runs on volunteer effort and zero funds! It works steadfastly on boosting public awareness on issues concerning India’s female genocide, and spearheading action for change.

What an important work – a global effort is needed.
Basically needed to point out you did a good work. Thanks -Franklin
My heart ached when I was watching the video. This brutal truth is hard to deny. Women need to come together with powerful voice and compassion to transform this painful reality. Thank you for following your calling to initiate the actions for change.
“About | GENDER EQUAL: A BLOG ON INDIA’S FEMALE GENDERCIDE” Modern Window Treatments honestly got me addicted with your web page! Iwill certainly be back again even more regularly. Thanks a lot -Avery
I am with the movement
Thank you Kishu!
I cannot believe this still goes on!!!! I will share this with all my fb friends and others, doing as much as I can, having daughters and sisters I cannot imagine life without them.
It’s ever high time to act on the atrocities of girls and womens not only in India but in global perspective thru UN. It’s high time when UN should make such issues on it’s agenda to issue guidelines to all countries to implements the women’s rights just like UN did for Human Rights!
This is such an important issue. My friend and I just visited Coimbatore, India to start a widows sewing cooperative with an amazing Franciscan nun.
The cruelty and evil in the world never ceases to amaze me. All for the sake of money. It’s horrific and it sickens me. I will be spreading awareness on facebook, and twitter and verbally. I feel helpless to do more since I am currently unemployed and at the mercy of my ex right now. I am not in a position to help financially.
Lisa, We are a zero fund campaign. So we do not take donations. But do check out our volunteer and our patrons page. Thanks for the support!
