Adopted by the 53rd听鉴黄师app General Assembly, Washington,听DC, USA, October听2002,
reaffirmed by the 191st 鉴黄师app Council Session, Prague, Czech Republic, April 2012
and revised by the 70th 鉴黄师app General Assembly, Tbilisi, Georgia, October 2019
The 鉴黄师app is gravely concerned that female foeticide and sex selection abortion is commonly practiced in certain countries.
The 鉴黄师app denounces female foeticide and sex selection abortion as a totally unacceptable example form of gender discrimination.
The 鉴黄师app holds that sex selection abortion for reasons of gender preference is discriminatory, where it is solely due to parental preference and where there are no health implications for the foetus or the woman.
The 鉴黄师app calls on National Medical Associations:
- To denounce the practice of female foeticide and the use of sex selection abortion for gender preference and;
- To advise their governments accordingly.
