Days before Women's Day, an Indian-origin woman has collaborated with Nobel Peace Prize nominee James Garrow to launch a global campaign against the malpractice of female foeticide and infanticide in India.

People from six countries - Ireland, Australia, Kuwait US and India- will conduct peaceful marches to protest against the gender holocaust.

"I realised the gravity of the situation when I decided to adopt a baby girl from India three years ago and was told to wait at least for two to three years," says Nyna-Pais Caputi, a US citizen currently living in Karnataka and the brain behind the project.

"Then the orphanage I visited in my home state pointed out a lake to me in the vicinity where baby girls used to be drowned by their parents," she told PTI.

Helping Caputi in her campaign is James Garrow from Canada who was nominated for the Nobel Peace prize along with the winner, US President Barak Obama. Garrow, who has worked towards saving around 31,000 baby girls in China from its one-child-per-couple policy, says he has now shifted his focus to India.

"India just happens to be the next target after China.

A lot needs to be done. Charge and convict those who murder baby girls and execute the perpetrators," says Garrow, who is planning his scheme of things to address this heinous crime in India.
