RIO+20: "Backsliding" on women's rights

RIO+20: "Backsliding" on women's rights:

RIO DE JANEIRO, 19 June 2012 (IRIN) - Population growth and women's right to choose when to have children could become hot issues again. Gro Harlem Brundtland, the former prime minister of Norway, has warned against “backsliding” in the draft outcome document being negotiated at the Rio+20 conference, which opens on 20 June. The new text might not recognize the advances made in ensuring that women have reproductive rights alongside other major multilateral agreements on development and the environment.
