CrossTalk’s Jim Schneider interviews Dr. Garrow on March 19, 2012
Pink Pagoda Girls was recently showcased in a news report detailing the efforts of China Aid Association, an international organization that is dedicated to promoting religious freedom and the rule of law in China. “Officials with China Aid Association today announced the creation of the Chinese Children Defense Fund that is to provide attorneys to represent families snared in the Chinese government’s limits on children,” said the report, which went on to mention the work of Dr. Jim Garrow (Founder of Pink Pagoda), and the work of Pink Pagoda Girls.
The issue also is being addressed by another significant strategy: that described by organizers and supporters of the Pink Pagoda Girls campaign.
The goal of that operation is to raise $1 billion over the next 10 years to save the lives of a million baby girls by facilitating their adoptions by couples outside the communist nation.
That addresses the practice in China, where seniors depend on their male offspring for support in their senior years, of families who simply “set aside” (kill) female offspring in order to comply with the one-child policy and attempt to get a male.
Dr. Jim Garrow, the personality behind the effort, already knows a thing or two about saving baby girls. In fact, he has already been credited with saving thousands of baby girls in China who otherwise would have been killed by their families laboring under a societal demand for male offspring and the government’s heartless one-child-per-couple policy.
The China Aid Association action comes just days after the true horrors of China’s practices were revealed. That happened when an image was posted on the Internet of a Chinese mother and the lifeless body of her baby – a fatal victim of the nation’s one-child forced abortion policy.
