I came across this article on the Baptist Press website.
It is a Q&A with Bob Fu, founder and president of ChinaAid who has broken several stories about the atrocities Chinese women have had to face living under that country's one-child policy. I encourage you to read it if you are unfamiliar with China's dark history of forced abortions, gender inequality or infanticide. This interview touches on all of these issues that are associated with the millions of children that go unborn in China each year. This is a significant part of the plight of the orphan. Despite the fact that many of these children go unborn, the one-child policy and culture of abortion contributes to the number of children that are abandoned and become social orphans due to fear from the parents of the government or false ideas that the child is worthless- satan's lies that are easy to believe if no one is speaking out otherwise or praying and advocating on these children's behalf.
If you would like to learn more about gender inequality, read an article that I wrote a while back for World Orphans that touches on the problem worldwide.. I posted it to this blog.
