Abstract: The incidence of sex selective abortions is the worst form of gender based discrimination against women. The causes for elimination of girl child indicate that the reasons are similar and different depending upon the geographical location in which female infanticide is practiced. An exorbitant dowry demand is one of the main reasons for female infanticide and foeticide. Some of the other reasons are the belief that it is only the son who can perform the last rites, lineage and inheritance runs through the male line, sons will look after parents in old age, men are bread winners etc. Strong male preference and consequent elimination of female has continued to increase rather than decline with the spread of education

Abstract: Saving lives could be a noble act and donating blood is one way to do it. People can save up to three lives by donating blood because a pint of blood actually can be separated into three components which are red blood cells, platelets and plasma. In order to increase blood supply and to maintain adequate stock of blood, voluntary and regular blood donors are needed to meet the increasing demand. The donation from young adults like university students is more preferable because they are a healthy group with a low risk of transmitting disease and more knowledgeable than the other groups. Considering the significance of university students in blood donation practice, the aim of the study was to assess university students' knowledge, attitude and practice on blood donation among nursing............
