Guest guest Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 with delegations of NGO's and Nations from all over the world meeting to work towards implementation of goals to support poor women's lives the US delegation arrived with a different agenda....apparently to destroy the whole effort. Ross This week in New York, delegations from around the world are meeting at the United Nations to assess progress on the Beijing Platform for Action, a landmark international agreement that committed governments to work on multiple fronts to advance the status of women. Key areas included promoting women's political participation, increasing women's access to education, employment, and reproductive health care, and protecting women's human rights. Unfortunately, the United States delegation to the meeting has threatened to unravel international consensus by adding new provisions that dismantle the spirit of this agreement and undermine the momentum it generated. Urge Condoleezza Rice to instruct the U.S. delegation to unequivocally reaffirm the Beijing Platform for Action.

People look for complexity because they cannot see simplicity. If you cannot find the truth right where you are, where do you expect to find it?
