tribal population, which includes mostly Lambada
Tribe. These people who lead nomadic life, live
under extreme poverty and are socially very backward.
Forced by the prevailing social custom of dowry
and associated with problems of poverty the girl
children in the tribal region are facing large-scale
infanticide and or being sold to others since
the girl child not wanted by parents. Many young
girls are neglected and due to economic and social
pressures they are working as the sex workers.
