UNESCO, ILO UNDP AND UNICEF LAUNCH A JOINT MESSAGE ON OCCASION OF WORLD TEACHERS’ DAY {30 September 1998} Each time a teacher succeeds in creating a tolerant, supportive classroom environment, each time a teacher enables children to develop their self esteem, their communication skills and ability to solve problems, a fundamental act of peace building takes place. In schools where children replicate the tensions and divisions of the world outside, teachers have to help their pupils to learn the importance of making informed decisions, of thinking critically and of minimising differences in order to live together in harmony. Everywhere children are arriving at school having already learnt the language of aggression. www.unesco.org /bpi/eng/unescopress/98-209e.htm   (672 words)

Introduction But from Bosnia to Somalia, Rwanda to Liberia, education is increasingly disrupted by both natural and complex disasters, thereby depriving children of learning opportunities and society of the positive benefits of education. As proclaimed in the Conventions on Human Rights and on the Rights of the Child, as well as in the Jomtien Declaration, all children have a right to education. While humanitarian relief efforts stretch their budgets to meet the most basic of needs, education is rarely adequately addressed and educational efforts are often targeted for cut-backs at times of crisis. www.pitt.edu /~ehawg/into.html   (523 words)

Funding for International Family Planning Programs Threatened! - United Nations Population Fund - Global Population and Environment - Sierra Club At the urging of anti-family planning supporters, President Bush has put a temporary hold on U.S. contributions to the United Nations Population Fund citing concerns over China's population control methods, according to administration and congressional sources. The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) works in developing countries to save women's lives and promote human rights through better reproductive health care, implementing only voluntary family planning programs. UNFPA estimates that the loss of U.S. funding could undermine their capacity to prevent 800,000 abortions and the deaths of 4,700 mothers and 77,000 children under the age of 5, said Stirling D. Scruggs, an agency spokesman. www.sierraclub.org /population/unfpa/threat.asp   (322 words)

An Interview with Steve Mosher: ‘Abolish the United Nations Population Fund’ These funds had been held up by the first Bush Administration and the Reagan Administration on the grounds that the United Nations Population Fund was participating in a program of forced abortion and forced sterilization in China. The United Nations Population Fund and other U.N. agencies argue that when they sterilize a woman they are actually preventing her from dying in childbirth. We have been working for several years at not only defunding the U.N. Population Fund, but taking the monies thus freed and putting them into child survival programs so that we can save the lives of children rather than focus our efforts on trying to prevent them from coming into existence. www.pop.org /main.cfm?id=232&r1=2.00&r2=1.40&r3=0&r4=0&level=2&eid=678   (2794 words)

UNFPA [United Nations Population Fund] Supports Forced Sterilization in Mexico The Lucis Trust and the United Nations seem very innocuous on the front but their agenda is the ruination of souls and the conversion of the world. The ghastly case is just the latest around the country to highlight the difficulties caseworkers have in protecting some of the nation's most vulnerable children from abuse or even death. It has also been found that CONAPO has established national quotas (for family planning users) which are fulfilled by regional hospitals and by teams of local family planning workers. www.freerepublic.com /focus/news/819169/posts   (3351 words)

Feminist Daily News 7/23/2002: Bush Makes UNFPA Funding Cut Official In a move that will cost the lives of tens of thousands of women and children around the globe, President Bush officially announced yesterday that he will withhold $34 million in funds for the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA). The UN Population Fund is one of the most important forces at work today helping poor women. The result will be a cut in 13 percent of funding for the UNFPA’s international family planning programs — which would have enabled the UNFPA to prevent two million unwanted pregnancies, 4,700 maternal deaths, nearly 60,000 cases of maternal illnesses and over 77,000 cases of infant and child death. www.feminist.org /news/newsbyte/uswirestory.asp?id=6723   (512 words)
