INFANTICIDE
Infanticide, the deliberate act of ending the life of a very young child, remains a distressing and poignant issue in contemporary society. Although the prevalence of this practice has decreased over time, it continues to serve as a strong reminder of a profound violation of a child’s inherent right to life. The complexities surrounding infanticide are deeply intertwined with factors such as inadequate maternal healthcare and deeply rooted cultural traditions. While some progress has been made, infanticide accentuates the ongoing challenges we face in safeguarding the lives of the most vulnerable among us.
