Gwalior/Shivpuri : Hundreds of people gathered on the streets of Gwalior on Feb 2, 2010 to take part in a silent demonstration against female infanticide and foeticide. Holding banners with the slogans 'Save Daughters' and their mouths masked by a cloth to signify the silenced voice of the girl child, both men and women activists held hands to form a long human chain and stood in solidarity as a part of this rally. It was facilitated by Centre for Integrated Development, an non governmental organisation. Similar demonstration was held at Shivpuri district outside the collectorate. The same was facilitated by Sahyog - Support for Development. Representatives from civil society and media participated in the same (Picture is from Shivpuri, though year in the date mentioned is 2009 due to camera settings).
