Discusses the preparatory process for the UN's 1995 World Conference on Women in Beijing, People's Republic of China, & calls for the reinforcement & implementation of the consensus reached at the 1994 International Conference on Population & Development held in Cairo, Egypt, for a commitment by governments to protect women's rights & health. It is argued that the draft of the Platform for Action of the Beijing conference is weakened by bracketing the text involving safe motherhood, reproductive health, contraception, & abortion. In addition, the draft declaration fails to adequately ensure access to reproductive health information for adolescent girls or to address sexually transmitted diseases & issues related to complications of unwanted pregnancies.
