Ming Shu, a baby girl saved by WRWF’s Save a Girl Campaign<\/p><\/div>\n

This Valentine\u2019s Day, will you honor a woman or girl in your life who you love by saving a girl \u2013 a girl like Ming Shu?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Look at adorable baby \u201cMing Shu.\u201d \u00a0Who wouldn\u2019t love her?<\/p>\n

Yet, Ming Shu is an unwanted second daughter. \u00a0Ming Shu\u2019s mother and father had just had a daughter and did not plan to get pregnant again so quickly.\u00a0 Because of the new \u201cTwo Child Policy\u201d allowing second children, her mother thought that continuing the pregnancy would be allowed.<\/p>\n

However, the Two Child Policy did not help Ming Shu\u2019s mother at all.\u00a0 After Ming Shu was born, her mother still had to pay a large fee to the Family Planning Office, and faced sterilization.\u00a0 Having a second daughter meant that Ming Shu\u2019s mother had used up her quota of children and would not be able to have a baby boy.\u00a0 Her family wanted a son, so they pressured Ming Shu\u2019s mother to \u201cgive away\u201d her baby girl. \u00a0In the Chinese countryside, to \u201cgive away\u201d a baby girl too often means to leave her in a field to die. Ming Shu\u2019s mother wanted to keep her daughter.\u00a0 She was extremely distressed and did not know what to do.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, a Women\u2019s Rights Without Frontiers\u2019 (WRWF) undercover fieldworker found Ming Shu\u2019s mother before it was too late. \u00a0Our fieldworker told her that we are helping mothers keep their girls because we believe that girls are just as good as boys. \u00a0Our fieldworker offered Ming Shu\u2019s mother a monthly stipend for a year to empower her to keep her daughter. \u00a0With the help of this stipend, Ming Shu\u2019s mother is defying the pressure from her family and is raising beautiful Ming Shu.<\/p>\n

Our \u201cSave a Girl\u201d program saved Ming Shu\u2019s life. \u00a0Her mother couldn\u2019t believe that someone would help them just because she had a baby girl.<\/p>\n

This Valentine\u2019s Day, will you help \u201cSave a Girl\u201d by honoring the women and girls that you love?<\/strong><\/p>\n
