Are we simply imposing western views on other cultures by encouraging womens empowerment and family planning in other countries?
In 1994 at the UN Cairo conference on population and development, almost 160 countries signed on to a “Plan of Action” in support of family planning and women’s empowerment initiatives and requested financial support to make these goals a reality in their countries. In accordance with this “Plan of Action,” the Sierra Club advocates for universal access to voluntary family planning programs and reproductive health services, as well as access to basic rights for women and girls around the world.
