Ending Female Foeticide

Spearheading gender equality

The Art of Living promotes the active involvement of women in decision-making processes so that their voices are not only heard, but appropriate action is taken towards development that includes men and women at the community level.

Working in collaboration with the UN against Sex Selection and Female Foeticide

The Art of Living has been working in collaboration with the United Nations Population Fund to educate people against the heinous practice of sex selection and female feticide in India. These concerns were highlighted at a conference ‘Faith in Action Against Sex Selection - India’s Missing Daughters’ in New Delhi, in November 2005.

“I had decided to go back to my anti-depressants before this (The Art of Living) course, but now I don’t need them. I will practice these techniques every single day for the rest of my life. I only hope other people are lucky enough to take this course. It has given me more help than I could have ever imagined possible. Thank you.”

“I found that this training of breathing is so useful and its benefit shows when I do it. I feel that my heart is stronger and younger. When I can’t sleep I just do the breathing and I feel energy in all parts of my body.”

M. Ali Bankat

"Before this experience, I was sad, depressed and starting to lose hope because of the situation here in Iraq. Now, after only four days, I feel confident in myself – happier, have hopes and dreams again and I feel that life is so beautiful. I have started to love everyone and physically I have much more energy and am able to do more things. I want to thank you very much for helping all of us feel better.”
