Call to help vulnerable women
After giving birth to a baby boy in a building in Shenzhen, a 19-year-old migrant worker killed him by throwing him out of the window. Young female migrant workers, without the protection of their families, are vulnerable to perils such as unwanted pregnancy. The Shenzhen incident should be a renewed call to society to come to the help of such vulnerable young women, says an article on scol.com.cn. Excerpts:
Xiao Wei, the woman who threw her newborn out of the window, came to Shenzhen less than a year as a young high-school graduate and is practically a child herself. Later, she said that she didn't know why she did such a horrific thing.
