Dramatic changes in government policies mean that today two-thirds of countries in the region have active family planning programs. Nevertheless, sub-Saharan Africa faces a critical challenge with respect to meeting the reproductive health needs of its rapidly growing population. PAI’s new study endeavors to present a comprehensive overview of this challenge and the diversity of the region’s responses. >From mass media AIDS prevention campaigns to family planning services directed at youth, sub-Saharan Africa is home to innovative approaches and programs that are part of a picture of change across the region. http://www.populationaction.org/politics/political.htm As PAI monitors the Foreign Affairs Bill and the "Global Gag Rule" provision, we continue to post the latest developments on this Web site in a timely fashion. The site also contains a background factsheet on the Gag Rule provision currently attached to H.R. 1757, the Foreign Affairs Reform Act. What Birth Dearth? Why World Population is Still Growing http://www.populationaction.org/why_pop/birthdearthfs.htm The world's population is still increasing by over 80 million people a year, despite the trend worldwide towards smaller families. Moreover population will continue to grow for at least the next half century and by at least another two billion people. This factsheet outlines and explains current population trends and stresses the importance of expanding family planning services to enable more couples to have the smaller, healthier families they desire.

Martha Gimenez and Carrol Cox will continue to be its moderators, with Malgosia Askanas providing technical assistance. The new list, M-FEM (the full address is m-fem@csf.colorado.edu), has been created and should be functioning. To subscribe to the new list send the message subscribe m-fem FIRSTNAME LASTNAME (where FIRSTNAME and LASTNAME are your first and last name, of course) to the following address: listproc@csf.colorado.edu To learn more about the listproc commands, send to the above listproc address the message help At CFS, Marxism-Feminism will join other "sister" lists such as PSN (Progressive Sociologists Network) and MatFem (Materialist Feminism). CSF, true to its emphasis on communications, has a specific policy about the quality of discourse expected in all its lists and also, as a site that operates with support from the university, has a policy about the submission of copyrighted materials. Both are available below. We anticipate that marxism-feminism will continue to be free to all subscribers, but we will doubtless need to appeal to subscribers for some small donations to maintain the new list. Thank you, The Moderators: Martha Gimenez Carrol Cox ************************************************ Marxism-Feminism Rule of Discourse: replicate in our virtual space the rules of civility ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ we abide by when we meet face-to-face ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ================ CSF Communications Guidelines ================ Marxism Feminism is hosted at CSF (Communications for a Sustainable Future) which was founded on the idea that quality communications between people of differing viewpoints can be an avenue for securing a more promising future. So, when you join a csf-list, you are undertaking a modest obligation to write in a way that is respectful of the views of others. Electronic discussion is, of course, notorious for flame wars. But ad hominem arguments and personal slights are not encoded on silicon chips. The vast majority of subscribers enter with good intentions but somehow, through this new medium, good intentions can be undermined with slight spins to which others can take offense. So please be careful about process -- about how you say what you wish to say. Help us keep the intended meaning of the word "communications" in CSF. _______________________________________________________________________ ******** CSF/CU POLICY ON COPYRIGHT MATERIAL ******** CSF is housed at the University of Colorado at Boulder. The University provides not only the infrastructure but other support for CSF. Since CSF runs on a "CU machine," we follow current policies of CU. One important policy is that copyright materials can not be distributed on discussion lists nor archived in web sites at the university. We appreciate your cooperation in support of this policy.
