In the tundra many of the Nenets girls have dislocated hips. Why? Because after a Nenet family has several girl babies they will purposely dislocate or break the child's hip or leg believing that this will prevent having more girl babies.

Several Russian medical and social agencies are working hard to correct this primitive superstition but it will take a generation to produce change.
