Women on the agenda.


 The first Symposium on Women and Health was held in Tokyo on January 14, 1994, and was sponsored by Japan's Network for Women and Health, Cairo '94. The sponsoring organization is new, has about 200 members, and intends to make certain Japanese women's views are hears at the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) in September, 1994. This intention was expressed at a different press conference prior to the Symposium. An active panel of the Symposium for about 100 Japanese participants was chaired by the UNFPA chief of the Women, Population, and Development branch, Katherine Pierce, WHO said that women's voices on family planning must be heard in order for reproductive health and rights to be effectively protected and provided for. A description of the ICPD was also given. The panelist Yayoi Aoki, who is a social commentator and activist, said that while other developing countries are encouraged to have fewer children, Japanese women are asked to have more children in order to raise the birth rate of 1.50. Population problems were viewed as approachable only from a reproductive health and rights context. A member of the Women's Coalition for Anti-Eugenic Protection Laws, Akiko Nagaoki, directed attention to the mass consumption and mass production patterns of the developed world as the basic cause of population problems, while population control policies usually target women as the cause. The panelist from the Japanese House of Councilors, Akiko Domoto, promoted the notion that women dominate ICPD discussion so that population policies would not have women as their object of discussion. Women need to show themselves as active in finding solutions to population problems. The idea was introduced and promoted that the world should be viewed as borderless for the next century. Social change should be spearheaded with the goals of humanity's revival and reproductive health and rights.
