Another major issue is the lack of birth control and contraception in Africa and the Middle East - the issue isn't going away any time soon as the world's population is expected to balloon to 10 billion by 2050 and the career activists seem to accept it as a funding guarantee for their programs. Also surprising how climate change blowhards are inexcusably silent on the issue as if the environmental degradation of the world's poorest countries will somehow improve as their populations grow exponentially - as developing countries are expected to lead population growth. The UN always treads carefully on this subject - so as not to upset the OIC, one of the most powerful voting blocks at the UN.
