China’s Abandoned Daughters (2024) is an award-winning documentary from Channel News Asia.

Between the 1970s and 1990s, many families affected by China’s one-child policy gave away baby girls.

Many of these unwanted girls were given away, and sometimes were sold, to foster parents in rural provinces.

The foster families took the baby girls in so they would grow up & marry their foster brothers. Often, they were treated as servants before then.

Now, tens of thousands of women are looking for their families of origin.
