Gender and Human DevelopmentTABLE 8.10Sex ratio and child sex ratio: A comparison with southern statesState Overall Age group 0-6 Rate of change 1991-20011991 2001 1991 2001 Overall Age group 0-6India 927 933 945 927 0.65 -1.90Karnataka 960 965 960 946 0.42 -1.15Tamil Nadu 974 986 948 939 1.23 -0.95Kerala 1036 1058 958 963 2.12 0.52Andhra Pradesh 972 978 975 964 0.62 -1.13Source: Registrar General of India, Census 2001.High education levels donot necessarily translateinto gender sensitivity.in the overall sex ratio between 1991 and 2001than south Karnataka. However, the extentof the decline in the child sex ratio (with theexception of Belgaum and Gulbarga districts)is also lower in the two poorer regions than insouth Karnataka. The district with the highestdecline in CSR is Mandya, which is a relativelyhigh-income district. Here, unwillingness tofragment property through either inheritance ordowry has led to a desire for one or two children,preferably only sons. It is unfortunate thatDakshina Kannada has also registered a declinein CSR. Some districts show an improvementand, except Kodagu, these districts do not havehigh levels of literacy or economic development.Hence, high education levels do not necessarilytranslate into gender sensitivity. High incomesmean that people have access to, and can affordto pay for, the technology for sex selection. Theskewed child sex ratio is a manifestation of acovert form of gender violence with enormoussocial implications. As regions experienceeconomic growth and poverty reduction, as longas gender bias persists and is refl ected in thespread and increase of dowry and other practices,the possibility of more people undertaking sexselection also increases. Without systematicefforts to address this problem, increasesin economic growth, consumerism, andimprovements in health and education maywell translate into stronger daughter aversion.The stakeholders are many: parents, husbands,doctors, nurses, and the manufacturers ofequipment used for sex selection who aggressivelymarket the latest technology. Women also optfor sex selection for a variety of reasons suchas domestic violence, harassment and lack ofawareness. Enforcement of laws prohibitingthe use of technology for sex selection andawareness building by government, NGOs andactivist groups can reduce the growth of thisheinous practice.With the exception of only 8 out of 27 districts,the child sex ratio is worse in urban than in ruralareas (Table 8.12).Women’s autonomyAlong three dimensions, household decisions,freedom of movement, and access to money,the picture for women in Karnataka relative tothe rest of India is mixed. Women in Karnatakahave greater physical mobility and access tomoney, but less say in decisions about theirown healthcare and other household decisions(Table 8.13).Violence against womenThe UN Declaration on the Elimination ofViolence against Women (1993) defi nes ‘violenceagainst women’ as any act of gender-basedviolence that results in, or is likely to result inphysical, sexual or mental harm and sufferingto women whether occurring in public or privatelife. This defi nition encapsulates a wide rangeof offences ranging from dowry deaths, spousalabuse, rape, traffi cking in women, sexualharassment, sex selection etc. Bringing ‘domestic’violence within the domain of violence againstwomen means that what was traditionallyhidden as a ‘family’ or ‘personal’ matter such aswife battering or dowry-related harassment is182
