New Delhi, Aug 14 - A city-based NGO will take out rallies, hold street plays, protests marches and community discourses in Haryana with one message -- do not kill unborn daughters. The state has the country's worst sex ratio of 819 women per 1,000 men.

The two-year campaign Fight against Female Foeticide will be launched by the Centre for Social Research (CSR) as a pilot project in two districts of Haryana, Kurukshetra and Ambala, which have the lowest sex ratio -- 770 females and 784 females per 1,000 males respectively.

'Delhi, Punjab and Haryana are some of the highly prosperous states in the country. Ironically, these are the very same states which have a bad reputation for killing the unborn daughters in the womb. We hope our campaign will help in checking the menace of sex selective abortions,' said CSR director Ranjana Kumari.

According to the 2001 census, Punjab had a sex ratio of 798 females per 1,000 males and Delhi 868 females pee 1,000 males as against the national average of 927.
