What are baby boxes?

It's an interesting one. A baby box or baby hatch is a place where people (typically mothers) can bring babies, usually newborn, and abandon them anonymously in a safe place to be found and cared for. One reason many babies have been abandoned, especially in the past, was that they were born out of wedlock. Today, baby boxes are more often intended to be used by mothers who are unable to cope with looking after their own child and do not wish to divulge their identity. In some countries, it is not legal for mothers to give birth anonymously in a hospital, and the baby box is the only way they can safely and secretly leave their child to be cared for by others. In India and Pakistan, the purpose of baby boxes is mainly to provide an alternative to female infanticide, which occurs due to socio-economic factors including the high cost of dowries.
