The issue of birth control, for example, is something that is possibly not supported in a way that would address some of the problems with large families across the globe. There is huge poverty and poor vaccination programmes for children on top of that resulting in much disability and so on, and the women of these countries are often charged with trying to mind all of that. An observation I would make, and it is not a criticism of Professor Pras, who I hope refers this to the UN, is that it should be more proactive in those areas or as active as it is in other areas.
