Researcher Sabreena Ghaffar-Siddiqui told CBC News she finds the numbers in a recent study about skewed boy-girl birth ratio among Indian-born moms "a little bit vague and in need of more clarification."
A Toronto researcher says there are holes in a study that found Indian-born women in Canada with two or more children are giving birth to more baby boys than expected — figures that led the study's authors to suggest that abortions related to sex selection may be a major reason.

Sabreena Ghaffar-Siddiqui is a professor, researcher and DEI expert at Sheridan College.  She conducts fieldwork in the areas of migration, race/ethnicity and identity. Sabreena is also an excellent speaker on issues relating to her field of research and the experiences, perspectives, and behaviours of immigrants and their offspring. Her recent study on the health seeking behaviours of South Asian immigrants in the GTA has provided important insight into the perceived needs of racialized minority immigrants in accessing and utilizing health care services.  Sabreena’s thesis focused on the identity-related intergenerational differences in the experiences and perceptions of Muslims living in Canada, and the integration challenges they face in the current climate of rising Islamophobia. She also looks at the ways in which non-Mosque based community organizations help facilitate integration and subvert pathways to radicalization. Sabreena is also part of a larger SSHRC funded project that is examining racial microaggressions as experienced by refugee youth living in St John’s and Hamilton. The research findings from her several projects have been presented to numerous academic and public engagements worldwide and featured in health equity reports. She has also written several op-ed articles to share her expertise on current events to a broader audience. Sabreena has been interviewed on CTV News, CBC News, Radio Canada International, Toronto Star and other media outlets to share her expertise on immigration issues. Sabreena’s contributions as an academic continue to make an impact on the policies relating to the equity of immigrants and racialized minorities in Canada. Sabreena is also very involved in community engagement and knowledge translation. She serves on the board of Canadian Council of Muslim Women and The Pluralist Foundation, as their senior communications executive and is also on the advisory board of The Canadian Muslim Vote.
