Ithink there's a role for internationalists in this kind of thing, but not quite sure what that should be. As a bedrock of support for those people in those countries who are trying to change things, I guess.
It'll only really change with a shift in attitude amongst ordinary people, and that shift in attitude probably won't even begin to happen until the economic disadvantages of bearing daughters has been thoroughly overturned. But these are seizmic cultural shifts which will come from social and economic change and most likely across a couple of generations.
