Agenda to Save Earth Part 2

Former US Congresswoman Bella Abzug, founder of the Women’s Environment and Development Organization, convened the World Women’s Congress for a Health Planet to bring women’s united voices to the UN’s Rio Earth Summit in 1992 and to demand women have an equal role in decision-making on the environment. WEDO is still active in 2015, but progress on the agenda hammered out in Miami is still painfully slow.
