Theres the headlines these continues on a 0 after the politics of population control next. This is a film about women who had to abort their daughters. About men who can no longer find a wife. About girls were kidnapped for that reason. And about desperate parents. On the tire i dont own the kids. I eat only. Was. One she is a province in Southern China pang dont envy my shan or parents who are searching for their daughter 3 year old pan shooting disappeared a month ago without a trace. At 1st nobody believed that something terrible could have occurred in this peaceful village where everyone knows each other but the search for her has remained fruitless. Why how many of you so you can see out your home until you can do is i think how its all the family all the time you. Each of us. All that remains for the parents are their memories and. The photos from happier times. Were. To. Focus areas. To conquer about. Do you knows a lot of despairing parents he works for a Relief Organization throughout china they are already 200000 volunteers searching for missing girls such as pan shooting. There are the right tards about how it was a free other area. Other than what it was or go. To the mission that michelle employer or the general call their its had you in the thread are. So real that evolved into 2. 1000 and child on magda had a better harder. There is a shortage of millions of women in the worlds most populous country 135 boys are born for every 100 girls in some provinces of china. This is the result of an experiment that started decades ago on the other side of the world in the usa after world war 2. It was the era of the economic miracle people in the west were doing better than ever before if not for the fear that their prosperity could soon come to an end a big concern was constantly growing populations due to medical advances especially in developing countries. Affluent americans started a new Movement Together they wanted to curb the large numbers of Children Worldwide most of them were men from well known scientists. Like john d. Rockefeller the 3rd they were people with influence and connections to the highest levels of the american government. Their foundations continue to exist today the Ford Foundation the Rockefeller Foundation the Population Council they triggered a rising tide of fear of a population explosion that soon also spread to other countries and they formed the head of worldwide measures taken to decimate the population of the impoverished. This has been examined by Matthew Connelly as story and a Columbia University in new york he has researched in detail the development of this movement from its beginnings to its impact today Arbitration Council saw its not just her control the rate of population. But also to address problems of the quality of population so they have an explicit mandate to try to do something about the growth of the fertility rates among people who they thought you know would eventually take over the world if something wasnt done to reduce fertility rates across the board but especially among people who they thought would be poor parents would have even more poor children. This way of thinking also took hold in american politics in 1966 u. S. President lyndon b. Johnson attached conditions for receiving Development Aid one of them being that recipient countries must reduce their population. It was a time of drought and starvation in india. The president spoke on the phone with the secretary of agriculture. Around the corner. Of the president. But if you want to. Exhibit a i dont want to get. There by the way im over 30 but what. Im not sure i dont know but i dont know what i ought to get out of. Character but. He stopped food deliveries until Indira Gandhi down to the demands. Accusations were made that the west had imperialistic intentions with his population control fraud checks. Department was founded at the United Nations in 1969 the un f. P. A. The United Nations Population Fund through this ostensibly neutral path western governments channeled millions into population control in developing countries the major donors besides the United States were sweden Great Britain germany and switzerland. South korea was among the earliest testing grounds for population control the country was devastated after the korean war at the same time there was a baby boom with the highest birth rates in the world the United States participated in the reconstruction from the very beginning population control being high on the agenda. These 4 careen women grew up in a village 200 kilometers from saw and still remember the war and the time that followed. By now who. Has him back here tell them. Look even. Sillier than they really are you want all my. Days off now to. Go slow the video im on. To my poor video im on. Who called it a period only i. Wanted to also cut in the color and it doesnt look like me who dont really want there may have been down. Playing a miracle with all who feel a divided government that the long walk long long looked to cookie in. The western family planners formed armies of socalled Health Workers in cooperation with the korean government thousands of them combed the country registering fertile couples urging them to use contraception contraceptives publicly distributing that would have previously been inconceivable in south korea as well as an other parts of the world. Here in the us mortals are going to not then their indian woman is lying then people that actually are in the gardens high on. Energy around who are who to undergo game or who will be all your own when their. Payments are condoned so on baltimore i did you. Come. Donated buses and jeeps that were converted into mobile medical units documents show that their task was not Health Promotion the Population Council an American Foundation expressed a clear cut mission to the Korean Ministry of health. These vehicles are given to help improve Living Standards in korea through a vigorous attack on the problem of excessive population growth. Could it be a search tree. Trunk. Model car. There are 2 at the new clientele you know that how what do all of us actually that. Will probably im going to cover you say secure our knowledge will. Instead of letting citizens plan their own families family planners made having fewer children as citizens duty they were not interested in fighting poverty but only in preventing the poor from having babies. Mobile clinics in india went to secluded villages as early as 956 because indians were also supposed to have fewer children. Western family planners flooded the country one of the pioneers was the american dr Sheldon Siegel he founded apartment for reproductive medicine in one of the largest state hospitals in new delhi and trained indian medical students. Although early versions of i. E. D. S. Had fallen into disrepute in the west siegel smuggled them to india in 1964 he declared them as Christmas Decorations at customs and had them inserted into the utah right of women without the knowledge of the government. In the letter he wrote. The present approach is to distribute the ones i have on hand to private gynecologists we are also inserting some in monkey. My feeling is that in the long run it may be faster to quietly accumulate evidence from these sources before trying to press for wider distribution and government Family Planning clinics i do not want to raise the question with Health Minister dr yaar if the answer is likely to be negative because we would then be in a precarious position if we pursued human studies at all. It didnt take long for the Indian Government to give the green light the United States agency for International Development even sent nonsterile intrauterine devices to india serious complications often a rose sometimes with fatal consequences. Despite this the family planners increased the pressure. The Indian Government cooperated they said quotas for sterilizations an i. U. D. Insertion paying doctors and Health Workers premiums poor and educated women were the main targets the bait money and exchange for their fertility. So you have this system where people at every level or big being given money money from the United States from the United Nations from sweden from norway money to agree to sterilize ation or money to get other people to agree to start even if in some cases that eventually been rounding them up and trucking them to camps where they were sometimes sterilized under the most appalling circumstances. Sheldon siegel visited one of these camps in 1962 he described it to his superior i spent sunday at a womens sterilization camp and found it fascinating after the surgeon sows up the abdomen the ladies get off the operating table by themselves and walk out of the operating theatre i can honestly say that the operating conditions and adherence to sterility that dr and i observe in doing our hysterectomy is in monkeys for actual insertion are infinitely better yet who can argue with success. d and the situation in india got out of control in 1975 the government of india gandhi forced 8000000 women and men to undergo sterilization this dark chapter in Indian History became known as emergency period. The idea of population control what was so seductive to National Leaders people like Indira Gandhi was the idea that they could achieve maternity in one generation and they could do it with crash programs even if it required taking some risks even if were some people were going to get hurt this was something that was going to make india a modern nation and was going to improve everyones welfare in the long run what they didnt understand is that in many rural societies these children were their parents only source of security in all of these right and not only that but in poorer societies even children in many cases are able to support themselves and help their parents even from a relatively young age. People or places like the Population Council or the Ford Foundation they realize that parents and poor societies in many cases prefer to have songs they want their began to think if only they had some way of helping those parents determine whether the fetus was a female or a bell then they might along with abortion they might have a quicker way of reducing fertility rates the head of the Population Council determines a clear direction in 1967 augmented Research Efforts leading to improve contraceptive technologies or practical methods of determining the sex of an unborn child so that parents could be assured of a sun. In the early 1970 s. The time had finally come scientists develop chorionic villas sampling or c. V. S. With this method a child sex could be identified before birth. Abortion was forbidden in almost all developing countries Sheldon Siegel and his colleagues used their connections to the highest ranks in the u. S. Government and with great success. Any kissinger was u. S. President gerald ford secretary of state at the time in 1974 document that was long kept classified he demanded the massive d. Population of developing countries and declared abortion to be an indispensable tool for population control. No country has reduced its population Growth Without resorting to abortion. Where women in the United States were still heading to the streets to demand the right to control their own bodies American Foundations and politicians were pressuring developing countries to legalize abortion. In the following decades a massive surplus of men was created in asia through the abortion of daughters the consequences are omnipresent in india today once again those who suffer most are girls and women of low Socio Economic standing like 19 year olds the jena. 2 days with her brothers family he is her protector and saved her life 3 years ago when she suddenly disappeared from her village. Flashback after vanished sold everything travelled 2000 kilometers to new delhi and reported her disappearance to the Aid Organization of nobel laureate. You know there are things that nobody can. Get. Right. Shams almost not able to accomplish anything on his own even the police turned him away several times when pressured by the Aid Organization the police finally took action in the village or said gina was being held. A woman claiming to be mother and pulled out a marriage certificate the shortage of women is particularly extreme in the north and indian state. Parents desperately look for wives for their songs. The village elder ultimately explained what happened to such a. God i may be home alone to tell you. A lot of little bit of what theyre going to talk about. Yet not if you know any of them other than the comment i like about. The truth finally came out when the residents turned the girl over to the police the entire village had collected money for a number of bachelors she was married to one man and abused as a sex slave by 7 others this is one of the consequences of the severe lack of women on the. Sit gina its not an exception cumin traffickers go through slums looking for girls when they disappear hardly anyone goes looking for them. The traffickers are often acquaintances are neighbors. Girls and women likes a gene or suffer the consequences of population policies introduced an expedited by western family planners 50 years ago in india. No pregnant woman part that she would selectively goods and have only boys so this was created by the socalled academic medical profession promoted by a Ford Foundation and a lot of other in jews which funded the whole project. I think it took 30 students for a year and b. A c. To. So about 5. 100 people who were bored of. The gynaecologist p. D. Was trained at the same hospital where Sheldon Siegel carried on his research. I was thrilled with the project for the research going. And hope to find daughter and her boy or girl before birth. Overproduce a girl of course. Prenatal sex determination was the biggest breakthrough in population control this way girls were aborted on mass and birth rates were duce 2 fold fewer babies were being born and fewer girls that could later bear children. Daughters are weeded out in china as well one in 5 boys presently born one later not be able to find a wife mother so worried they advertise it countless marriage markets for their surplus sons in shanghai theres such a market every sunday in peoples part. Was it the us or so that aware we were we. Were under the. Window you know. How many. Has. Power that they are much how we win new york. City and then why is it we seen. You had some interest. Should insist jacen says its a teaching. These are mothers who have only one son because they were permitted to have only one child this was the chinese strategy for population control. But. Because the world fights the corona pandemic were learning more about this every day its a new passenger and join our Global Community its how we come to be able to fight on soaring your questions can i get on with you trying to see directly whats coming on on you tube as youre saying im concerned about the front line oh nothing very quiet and not keeping you up to date i mean seeing countries retreat back and beating back successfully the street oh no just 0. The latest news as it breaks with no treatment or vaccine for 4 and a virus volunteers who say theyll continue to provide the service they got to fight the disease with details coverage along without any planning for indias millions of flies and quickest. And fearless journalism from around the world for many coming to this place is the only chance they have to leave me for once a day. Aljazeera was goes on a roller coaster journey in the wrong and discovers how football can empower a Refugee Community itself to lead and identity. Id like to prove to the world. Cup. I will be able to prove myself to my columns from the front on my soul im able to play a piece like chalk afghan you know its on aljazeera. Oh. Hello again adrian fenty going to here in doha the headlines when i was there a u. S. President donald trump has dismissed the possibility of a severe 2nd wave of corona virus infections later in the year that follows a warning about one of his top Health Advisers that a resurgence during the or some flu season could pose a major challenge. Stuff we were not good for you could have some evidence of corona and you can have a big flu system and if they combine you think come together they come together its not great but we will not go through what we went through for the last 2 months yet the president and his accuracy. Understand that the United States for the people appeared in them all but how can you say that you know it wont come back in the same level that it has today what it is estimated might not come back at all jeff it may not come back at all he should get about a worst Case Scenario where you have a big flu and you have some corona and if it does come back its not going to come back and ive spoken to 10 different people not going to be like it was the World Health Organization says the pandemic is far from over and that in some parts of the world outbreaks are only just beginning but w h o director general so said that he hopes the u. S. Reconsider his decision to withhold funding from the agency in europe Spains Parliament has approved an extension of the state of emergency for a further 2 weeks but in the u. K. The government is defending a proposal to test 100000 people a day by the middle of next week. He has imposed a 4 day locked out in 31 provinces to try to stop the spread of the coronavirus istanbul is one of the major cities that has shut down. Nearly all of south africas soldiers are being deployed to enforce a nationwide lockdown more than 70000 troops will join the near 2300 personnel already on the streets irans revolutionary guard says that its successfully launched a military satellite into orbit for the 1st time the u. S. Says that irans Space Program is a cover for Missile Development the u. S. Secretary of state mike pompei or says an exciting parts of the occupied west bank is a decision for israels new government the Palestinian Authority says that if those plans go through theyll cancel any existing agreements with america and israel are those other headlines now lets get you back to the politics of population control. Throughout history humankind has prevailed in our darkest ringback all coming together to face the very thing that would extinguish our light. This is not one of those moments. At all. This is a moment for pretty much the opposite for hiding for laying low. Is also. Saving humankind by really really not getting mirrors. Or playing games staring at screens staring at any. All of the stuff of your hours. Every generation has its will or individual sacrifice makes way for the good of those who come after a higher purpose. This one is ours. Affluent americans started a new movement most of them were men from well known scientists to the super vet john d. Rockefeller the 3rd together they wanted to curb the large numbers of Children Worldwide. So you had the system where people at every level were big it being given money money from the United States from the United Nations from sweden from norway money to agree to star as a ship our money to get other people to agree to sterilization prenatal sex determination was the biggest breakthrough in population control this way girls were aborted on mass. Daughters are weeded out in china as well one in 5 boys presently born one later not be able to find a wife. U. S. President Richard Nixon and his secretary of state Henry Kissinger arrived in beijing in 1972 it was a historic meeting with moussa tung about the balance of power and the mutual commitment to world peace. There is no reason for us to be enemies. Neither of us domination over the other. Neither of us seek to stretch out our. And waited world. With the fear of the americans of chinese supremacy and thus the supremacy of communism was great and the fear that chinese population growth seemed unstoppable. After nixons visit the floodgates opened for western family planners the Chinese Government had a sympathetic ear for them. Ma a successor Deng Xiaoping introduced the one child policy millions were trained as lay Health Workers the socalled barefoot doctors their mission distributing contraceptives all over the country and ensuring that couples only had one child. In. The way of. Your. Family planning became a matter of state if anyone expected a 2nd child they faced draconian punishments. The government used graffiti on building facades warning people to obey you can beat it out you can kill it you just cannot give birth to it. Although the media reported forced sterilization and abortions the west donated money to the chinese Population Program at 1st this only came from organizations like the Ford Foundation but 1979 even the United Nations Population Fund a 50000000. 00 to the Chinese Government. An employee of i p p f one of the donor organizations sounded the alarm. I think that in the not too distant future this will blow up into a major press story as it contains all the ingredients for sensationalism communism forced Family Planning murder of viable fetuses parallels with india etc when it does blow up it is going to be very difficult to defend. But the warnings were not only nord the u. N. Population fund also presented china with an award for outstanding contributions regarding Birth Control who they choose to give it to it wasnt a reproductive rights advocates you know it wasnt to people whose lives were risk because or trying to campaign to get people and especially women the right to own and control their own bodies it was just the opposite they decided to honor the leader of chinas course of population control program a chinese general. You know who had presided over the most egregious period in the entire history of that program and they chose to honor Indira Gandhi who was responsible for what until then was the worst Population Program of all the emergency Period Program in india. Why did the un Population Fund support countries financially that forced people to be sterilized and have abortions. You have to bring money to improve the kind of contraception they used. For that why you are improving their health you also have to be in a country to be able to talk to authorities to say you have been invited us in case a better way of helping your women tell me the whole russia now for giving in there on the 1st population or ward after the start as a forced sterilization of so many people as well as to the chinese. Now. Need to be very clear. That goes our exact given by the United Nations and by states. It. Struck. At that time the United States was the most important member state contributing 40 percent of the budget was the u. N. Population fund simply the puppet of its benefactors. 40 years after these population policies supported by the west over 30000000 chinese men remain involuntary bachelors because of the shortage of women. This is why millions of unemployed men from rural areas move to the cities as Migrant Workers they aim to earn money to improve their chances of finding a bride. Leapin works in a selfie stick factory near hong kong at 27 he also does not have a girlfriend yet. On your way. Down there and for no its for the lets have more than my old. Employer but ive got me where i feel. That. Theyre all you know that theyre not and the way. You. Have and. That song was young i mean yeah so you know whats wrong. Thats all going. On. The number of corn goon continues to increase especially in the countryside Chinese Women prefer well off men from the city. Chinas problematic a lack of women will not change in the coming decades current birth records show a continued gender imbalance amongst newborns. Parallel to the increased lack of women the trafficking of girls prostitution and child abductions have risen dramatically in china. The activist to un visits the parents of pan shooting the little girl who disappeared but he has no good news there is still no trace of their 3 year old daughter. Im gonna. Push it off until. The mendoza content are coming out of you you may feel a trace message of how your meal conason mom to follow your mail so yeah there is a commission as im sure and all knowledge to themselves he hosts has a magazine. The girls are often abducted by someone from the village before the child reaches the person who contracted to have are taken she will have passed through many hands with each transaction the price goes up ultimately the product girl costs roughly 8000. 00 and for the buyers the deal always pays off. But they are herds of. Very young daughters and they arent you know what im about i think officer under a fan of the. Toughest jobs here was a did you know as a mother when he was a big part of a sort of tightening up your life in other years youve got a lot harder so you got better to avoid a busy are you off for lump of a human by the way donor or high up in riyadh bio jali io doctors are only going to be tossed away that. To some mama. I made that pageant who what is in your. You know you have been a hot young woman team in place how you guys sing you. Dont always a deal needs. To go towards and that you are sunni or youll fight in the lot to need. To need the counsel on that one of the how the. Source on high density. Statistics in india show the higher the surplus of men the higher the crime rate and the number of Violent Crimes against women. The american political scientist Valerie Hudson researchers and teaches the impact of this surplus of men at the bush school of government in texas. Youre creating a pool of already socially disadvantaged young men who are already predisposed to challenge the established order now you deepen their grievance there is no hope for them to finally become adult men within their Society Without taking more drastic action. Statistically the majority of crimes worldwide is committed by young unattached men when men enter into relationships or have children the likelihood of them committing a crime decreases. Valerie hudson views asias massive surplus of men as a serious threat to global stability. When you get instability and violence and insecurity and the 2 most populous nations on earth i dont see how that that can spill over into Global International relations whether were talking about the rise of china whether were talking about the future of indias walk or see in all of these questions are affected by whats going on with the women of india and china. Meanwhile the Indian Government reacted and outlawed sex determination in the early 1990 s. And yet they have never been as many abortions of girls as today because with alter a sound Technology Sex determination has become cheap and safe. Despite the ban it is only a question of money to find a doctor who is willing to break the law and reveal the gender of the unborn child. The middle class in india is growing and as expected educated indians want fewer children little has changed about the preference for sons especially in the upper class. Ameesha was 25 years old when she married a computer scientist. Her father in law was a high ranking government employee. In india the bride must pay the grooms family a dowry ameesha gave her inlaws an apartment. Having a son its like winning the lottery for some people in india. My love. To all load on monday they give the night he gave me. The book i made a move would you believe that us and the media covered the would you tell and doctor gives our doctor because i dont want to give up the magick wish but the doctor just said jack up that i was only going to iraq as a wooldridge to get him out that youre going to load. All that arcadia my 32 some of. The way which are low level or will they give the word us a leak and i. Thought that was that i was able to buy them a question he would demand of course me out there with the me that i was working with. Art. What to me my dream may marry him as i plainly. In the remake it im. Pretty they were both the media bought the memo make a buck out of barely even a big time long time we were known to guess a bigger game. Or maybe grainy the. Radical girls image in mark any. Good the will go away danny theres a. City. For a woman to be cast out by her inlaws is nothing short of the societal Death Penalty in india. As in china and india the lack of women of marriageable age in south korea has now become a problem. You have to walk through what are you going. To none of that i mean doc you go. And. Have a go im turn mounted and get the number. Rocco peterman behind you. Like to. A gag and you put how long. Cooking not law we could but i knew what. The body. Im going to be called it was. Not. A lucrative business has emerged around women as a commodity that which is missing in ones own market after decades of selective abortion is simply imported. From poor and neighboring countries. But south korea faces another problem nowadays south korean women do not want to have children at all lation is drastically declining once again politics has intervened with drastic measures whereas young women 60 years ago were encouraged to have abortions now it is strongly frowned upon and criminally prosecuted to terminate a pregnancy. Young and wang she song 2 students from seoul recalled what they learned at school on the subject of abortion. They were full. Of. Bushmans all. They were its own lust all. Around with our pit our. Dark. Skin a car who. Keeps the key all. The young women examine the subject of abortion for their masters thesis. Soon who directed the Womens Development institute in seoul for 25 years is an advisor to the students. The students tracked down dubious agencies that are betrayed illegal abortions for large sums of money once again women are the victims of population policy illegal abortions bear great health risks but the south korean government holds on to the ban of abortion today their mission is offspring at all costs. Youre asking him or my. Hometown take it out of our song and move on to get all. Of our song is. What. Im going to. Cook and im hopelessly that me on how marty and. Barbara starr live. Disserve korean government has gone so far as to publish a map of seoul on the internet showing where women of childbearing age live the darker the pink color the creative the selection for men seeking a wife. The Chinese Government has also noticed that a Society Without women will die out in the long run a 2 child policy has been introduced in hopes of regaining a gender balance and solving the problem of an ageing population. The government is again resorting to advertisements on building facades this time it is for daughters and therefore for potential future mothers. No girls no daughters in law. The government in india is also backpedaling it also wants to motivate people to give birth to daughters theres one Information Campaign after another once again the Indian Government is offering incentives. Whoever gives birth to a daughter receives 35. 00 u. S. Dollars and a think you letter from the ministry of health and family welfare. The gynecologist puny baby is familiar with the pressure on pregnant women he too performs abortions but never when it is a matter of the sex of the fetus dr beatty does not think much of the new government programs. Give me one reason how how i suppose as a guy as a woman shes pregnant who has never been to school has been the day she was born she was told that shes because shes a woman and then she got pregnant in a new home with 7 other people are telling her every day that will you know youll lose everything that you have 11 if you produce a good how do you go for it by showing some streatley or you know writing a poem or inventing the Television Spot no it doesnt work now the ultimate solution is of course that people start. Respecting girls more than boys. They wanted to protect the world from a population explosion but they waged war on the poor not on poverty they supported education and Economic Security of women birth rates would have gone down on their own instead they forced contraception sterilization and abortion. History is repeating itself the u. N. Population fund still use a 60 percent of their aid fund for Family Planning and once again private foundations demand population reduction at the time they based their arguments on scarce resources today it is Climate Change. Makes me nervous just as a the 1950 s. And sixtys it was a rockefeller and Ford Foundation that issued marching orders to people all over the world it makes me nervous when i hear its the Gates Foundation now because of its money thats preying upon a role in Global Public Health Similar you know when back of the 19 fifties and sixties you had leaders from all over the world agreeing that population growth was a crisis right and agree that the United Nations had to implement crash programs it makes me nervous now when people talk about the crisis of Climate Change and how it is we might even have to engage in crash programs. Today africa is the main focus for population control the world bank and the u. N. Population fund im currently pumping millions into Family Planning on the 2nd largest continent and a large American Corporation is supplying the ultra sound devices as in china south korea and india people in most african countries prefer sons.
