"The tact that a woman can

heaJt h i not addressed."
Popula ion policies have his
torically b en defined by the
dominant group. At this time no
written population policy exists,
even though population control
program and racially-targeted
d rnographies predate the envi
ronmental movement.
Speaking at a Town Hall
m ting in N w Yor or nized
by th U Network for Cairo,
Vernice Miller, director of EnVI
ronmental Justice Initiative,
Natural Resources Defense
Council and WOC delegate,
made the comment that the ab-
ence of an explicit population
policy make it difficult to hold
anyone accountable. What does'
exist nationally seems contra
dictory.
"WHEN WE SIT back to dis
cu issues on population policy,
I often wonder who are they
talking about, why are we talk
ing about certain issues," said
Miller. "The high fertility levels
and growth in populations being
·discussed are all too frequently
thos of people who are not of
European d cent. "
Women of color are organized
around what appears to be a so
ci 1 ju tice agenda. They do not
accept the paradigm employed
in European and American his
tory. "The underlying concern
for population growth has not
c ntered on human numbers
growing faster than food, but
ra her on geopolitical crowding
and differential fertility levels,"
aid their document. Therefore,
woe uggests that the strate
gies and policies which caused
h glob I problem be exam-
ined in all ell cu ions.
