A study to assess the knowledge regarding female foeticide among the adolescents at selected area of Jaipur

Nisha Yadav and Dr. Josfeena Bashir

India, an outstanding instance of an outstanding culture throughout history, holds women in high regard. We take satisfaction in saying these things aloud, but we don't always follow through on them. Our culture requires a woman to receive a political leader with a garland, a wife for a husband, and a mother for a son. The idea that a girl should be criticized but a woman should be honored is rude and uncivilized. Is this an example of female child failure if a man needs a woman to flourish in life? This is a demonic theory, not a cruel one! Although the nation celebrated International Women's Day by honoring the spirit of women, female foeticide continues to be the most serious issue affecting women, and education for girls also need rapid attention.

Aim of the study: The aim of the study was to assess the knowledge regarding female foeticide among the adolescents at selected area of Jaipur.

Research methodology: For the current study, a quantitative research technique was used. A cross-sectional research approach was used in this investigation. "Population is defined as the entire aggregation of cases that meet designed set of criteria" is used to define the target demographic. The samples in this research were chosen using a non-probability convenient sampling strategy.10. There are 100 teenagers in the study's sample. Teenagers' awareness of female feticides was one of the research's factors.

Results: The 13 (13%) adolescents had Very poor knowledge, 23 (23%) adolescents had poor knowledge, 57 (57%) adolescents had good knowledge and 7 (7%) adolescents had excellent knowledge. The SD was 5.826 while the mean score was 22.375.

Conclusion: Overall, the study underscores the necessity of targeted interventions such as school-based health education, community awareness campaigns and youth engagement programs to enhance knowledge, attitude and practices related to female foeticide. Promoting informed and gender-sensitive youth is essential for reducing discriminatory practices and fostering a healthier, equitable society.
