Petition to Protect Women's Health

179Countries.org

Join us in signing the petition below to urge the Bush administration to reaffirm rather than withdraw its commitment to a critical international agreement on population, development, and the health of women worldwide.

The Program of Action signed by 179 countries at the 1994 Conference on Population and Development affirmed the most basic of human rights: the right of all people to decide for themselves on when and how many children to bear and the right of all individuals to good reproductive health free from the fear of death or disease.

Make your support heard!
