The Alola Foundation has received support from certain United Nations agencies, namely the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF). Though CEDAW is silent as to abortion, CEDAW committee members have also pushed it under the guise of promoting 'gender equality.'" ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2009/05/27/cedaw-committee-targets-east-timor-on-abortion/feed/ 0
