The Fourth World Conference on Women. A commentary. [La Cuarta
Conferencia Mundial sobre la Mujer. Un comentario.] Documentos del
Instituto de Ciencias para la Familia, No. 25, ISBN 84-321-3220-9.
1998. 153 pp. Ediciones RIALP: Madrid, Spain. In Spa.
This is a
report on the Fourth World Conference on Women held in Beijing, China,
in 1995. The general approach of the author is to present a critique of
current national and international population policies from a Roman
Catholic perspective. There are chapters on the global demographic
situation in 1995, the differences between the developed and developing
countries, what happened in Beijing, and an evaluation of the
conference. In conclusion, the author suggests that what is at stake is
a struggle within the United Nations and in other international forums
between the traditional values of the Catholic Church and new concepts
of human rights in such areas as reproductive health, including family
planning and abortion.
