Many people are not aware that sex-selective abortions happen in Canada -- and usually, it's the pre-born girls who are targeted. Abortions are allowed for the simple reason that a particular sex is not wanted. It is estimated that more than 100 million pre-born girls have been aborted worldwide over the last 25 years because male babies were preferred.
Although this happens across many ethnic groups, one study found the sex ratios among Southeast-Asian immigrants became increasingly skewed for each subsequent birth where the previous children were girls.
In some populations, there are two boys born for every girl.
In Canada, it is estimated that there are close to 5000 "missing girls" who should have been born.
