Girls are often neglected in terms of nutrition, healthcare, and education. This can lead to higher rates of mortality and morbidity among girls, as well as lower levels of education and employment.<\/p>\n<p>Preference for sons is another factor that has contributed to the decline in Odisha&#8217;s sex ratio. In many cultures, sons are seen as more valuable than daughters. This can lead to discrimination against girls, and it can also lead to families aborting female fetuses or abandoning their newborn daughters.<\/p>\n<p>All of these factors have contributed to the decline in Odisha&#8217;s sex ratio. The state government has taken steps to address this issue, but there is still a long way to go.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Subscribe on
