In February, India announced the new "cradle scheme": babies can be left anonymously in cots outside the gates of orphanages. Baby girls are the ones most likely to be left in these cots, instead of being killed at birth or left somewhere to die. It is a well-intentioned move that is designed to deter female infanticide, which remains a grisly problem: this month, police in the eastern state of Orissa discovered body parts from three dozen aborted female foetuses and murdered girls in a disused well. But it has dramatically increased the number of baby girls in care. It is estimated that there are over 11 million abandoned or orphaned children in India, an extraordinary 90% of them girls. This figure includes thousands of children in institutions, as well as countless railway and street children.
