"The tact that a woman can
choos from a variety of contra­
c ptrv typifi the tendency of
ome population specialists to
VI w contraeeptiv as the olu­
tion 0 the problem of overpopu­
lation A woman' reproductive
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.
