World Bank rejects Wolfowitz’s family planning policies.

The World Bank’s Executive Board has approved a 10-year Health, Nutrition, and Population Strategy that strongly endorses sexual and reproductive health and rights, rejecting President Paul Wolfowitz’s regressive draft version that made “virtually no reference to sexual and reproductive health.”

UPDATE: The Center for Health and Gender Equity has more on the decision HERE.
