- Description
- This book explores how a small network of international development actors brings population control back to the center of public environment debate. Narratives about human rights abuses, racism and anti abortion were driven underground until now. The author shows how the population growth has been reframed as an urgent source of climate crisis and an opportunity to support women's sexual and reproductive health rights.

This edition also provides global and regional estimates for 2016 based on percentages calculated from the latest available data.

This thrust her into the centre of a global campaign for women's human rights that spanned the next three decades. From the IWTC headquarters opposite the United Nations, Anne and her colleagues met and worked alongside women from every world region on issues affecting their lives and the lives of their communities. Anne and the IWTC were involved in the series of UN world conferences on women held in various countries from 1975 to 1995. As well as writing of her work and the role of the IWTC in those decades, Anne tells the powerful stories of some of the women she met at meetings, workshops and other events in Africa, Asia, the Pacific, the Caribbean and Latin America. She also tells of witnessing and living through some of the toughest times in New York's history, from the moments when planes crashed into the World Trade Centre towers on September 11, 2001.

- Description
- This volume is a collection of contributions centered around three main themes. The first part, brings together first-hand accounts from women’s lives as they face the horrors of war, drawn mainly from original sources such as diaries, letters, memoirs and writings. The second explores the lives and thought of several women activists who challenged inequalities and sought to create new opportunities for women, contributing to the definition of a transnational culture of peace. The final section examines the work of a group of women who saw the outbreak of the First World War and the emergence of an international women’s movement for peace as an opportunity to act for their personal emancipation, and, in some cases, for a different idea of politics. The volume provides a selection of contributions from little-known European contexts such as Italy, Poland, and Austria. The presence and contribution of African-American women, which has been neglected in the history of women’s pacifism, is also explored. Particular attention is given to the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom and to the International Congress of Women, held in The Hague in 1915.
