===Mainland China=== {{See also|Sex-ratio imbalance in China}} There have been some accusations that infanticide occurs in [[mainland China]] due to the [[one-child policy]].<ref>[https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna5953508 NBC: China begins to face sex-ratio imbalance], NBC News, September 14, 2004</ref> In the 1990s, a certain stretch of the [[Yangtze River]] was known to be a common site of infanticide by drowning, until government projects made access to it more difficult. A study from 2012 suggests that over 40 million girls and women are missing in mainland China (Klasen and Wink 2002).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://iussp2005.princeton.edu/download.aspx?submissionId=51345 |title=Estimation of the Number of Missing Females in China: 1900β2000 |access-date=2013-07-18 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120420051451/http://iussp2005.princeton.edu/download.aspx?submissionId=51345 |archive-date=2012-04-20 }}</ref>
