Four Indian women bikers complete 10,000 km trip to 10 Asian countries

Four Indian women bikers have completed a 10,000-km trip to 10 Asian countries over 40 days to raise awareness against female foeticide.<br/><br/>They visited schools and universities calling for education without gender bias.<br/><br/>Psychologist Sarika Mehta, who led the ride, said while the problem of female foeticide is huge in India, we believe it is also a global problem and can happen anywhere.<br/><br/>In India, the baby female-to-male ratio has been dropping, partly because of female foeticide.<br/><br/>In 2001, there were 927 girls to 1,000 boys; in 2011, the figure fell to 919 girls.
