Abstract:
My generation has seen more progress in science and technology than all preceding generations together. We have also witnessed several intellectual, technological, medical and social revolutions spearheaded by the contraceptive revolution and followed by those in reproductive health, gender equity, information, communication, globalization, international assistance, etc. The results of the first contraceptive revolution were spectacular, by 1990 some 900 million couples used contraception, which became a global lifestyle. When this revolution lost momentum, a new departure took place: the Rockefeller Foundation's Contraception-21 initiative. The major achievements of this initiative are presented in this volume. All papers represent a significant contribution also to the ultimate objective: the achievement of human dignity for every woman. The revolutions mentioned above profoundly changed the world and our perception of it. They will also assist humankind in deconstructing the deterministic worldview of past centuries and replacing it with a science-driven anthropocentric philosophy.
