Interviews Featuring SSDS Staff

Bonnie Shepard of SSDS was recently interviewed on Global Health TV to discuss new research on India's "Missing Generation of Girls"

2010 - Canadian Conference on Global Health, Ottawa, Canada

Following her well-received presentation at the Canadian Conference on Global Health in November, 2010, SSDS's Bonnie Shepard was interviewed on Global Health TV for their international audience.

The presentation - also featured at the American Public Health Association's 2010 Annual Conference in Denver, Colorado - described new research into sex-selective abortions in India, suggesting that these terminations have a potentially devastating effect on economies and societies. The research was conducted by Dr. Shepard and Dr. Amy Rice of SSDS, and Dr. Sangeetha Purushothaman of Best Practices Foundation in Bangalore, India. In the interview, Dr.Shepard tells Global Health TV about the research and why sex ratios are changing dramatically over time as families abort healthy female fetuses in preference for male children.
