All in the name of cheap consumer goods. I am guilty of purchasing these goods which means that I am, in part, responsible for these deaths.
Rather then reduce my purchase of cheap goods in some quixotic hope that another 1000 girls won't die, but 100,000,000 banglordashis would more likely to remain dirt poor for another generation, I would rather buy the cheap goods, so that 10,000 girls would die, but 100,000,000 banglordashis would enjoy better standard of living by the next generation.
Every poor country would make this same choice. Everyone that is not poor anymore has already made this choice in the past and has improved standard of living now to show for it.
