Answer:

Infanticide, which is the intentional killing of a child under one year old, can be committed by people of any gender or demographic. However, historical and cultural evidence suggests that it has often been more prevalent among certain groups, such as very young, single women who may lack resources and support to care for a child, and older women who may have unexpected or unwanted pregnancies. Infanticide can also be a result of factors such as poverty, mental illness, domestic violence, and social stigma around certain circumstances such as illegitimate births. It is important to note that infanticide is a serious crime and a violation of human rights, and there are legal and social services available to support individuals and prevent such acts from occurring.
