\"\"<\/a>LONDON, Oct. 30.\u00a0 Women\u2019s Rights Without Frontiers President Reggie Littlejohn is featured as an expert on China\u2019s One Child Policy in the powerful new film on gendercide, \u201cIt\u2019s a Girl.\u201d\u00a0 She will co-present the film at the British Parliament\u2019s House of Lords on Tuesday, October 30, together with the film\u2019s director, Evan Grae Davis and producer Andrew Brown.\u00a0 The event is hosted by Lord Alton of Liverpool and Baronness Howe of Idlicote.<\/p>\n

This one-hour documentary is called \u201cIt\u2019s a Girl,\u201d as these are the three deadliest words in the world. \u00a0According to one UN expert, up to 200 million women are missing in the world today due to the sex-selective abortion of baby girls. \u00a0 The film contains extraordinary footage, shot on location in India and China.<\/p>\n

Littlejohn stated, \u201cIt is a great honor to play a role in this film, which unmasks the brutality of gendercide and leaves an indelible mark on everyone who watches it.\u00a0 This is the authoritative film on gendercide, the true war on women.\u00a0 I believe it will be instrumental in turning the tide against the selective elimination of females, not only because of the power of the film itself, but also because of the urgency of its call to action.\u201d<\/p>\n

Women’s Rights Without Frontiers just launched a campaign to end gendercide in China. Littlejohn said, \u201cWe are saving lives in China, one baby girl at a time.\u201d\u00a0 WRWF\u2019s \u201cSave a Girl\u201d campaign has been adopted by the \u201cIt\u2019s a Girl\u201d film as its official Action Plan for China.<\/p>\n

In China, the birth ratio of girls to boys is the most skewed in the world:\u00a0 100 girls born for every 120 boys.\u00a0 Because of traditional son preference, there is a saying:\u00a0 \u201cRaising a girl is like watering someone else\u2019s garden.\u201d<\/p>\n

Systematic, sex-selective abortion constitutes gendercide.\u00a0 Because of this gendercide, there are an estimated 37 million more men than women in China today.\u00a0 The presence of these \u201cexcess males\u201d is the driving force behind human trafficking and sexual slavery in China.\u00a0 China has the highest female suicide rate of any country in the world — 500 women a day.<\/p>\n

The \u201cIt\u2019s a Girl\u201d film is an official selection at the Amnesty International 2012 REEL Awareness Film Festival. \u00a0Check out how you can see the film here.<\/p>\n
