− | The People’s Health Movement (PHM) is a global coalition of grassroots and health activist organisations dedicated to addressing the burden of preventable disease globally but in particular that carried by developing countries. The goal of the People’s Health Movement is to re-establish health and equitable development as top priorities in local, national and international policy-making with comprehensive primary health care as a key strategy to achieve these priorities.

− | == Campaign to defend UNICEF's mission to defend children ==
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | In May 2005 Ms Ann Veneman, former US Secretary of Agriculture, will take
| + | |
− | office as the Executive Director of UNICEF. Her nomination, negotiated
| + | |
− | secretly by the UN Secretary General with the US Government and rapidly
| + | |
− | approved by UNICEF's Executive Committee, has alarmed public health
| + | |
− | advocates around the world. Ms. Veneman has no background in public health,
| + | |
− | children's welfare, or the rights of disadvantaged people. Her history as
| + | |
− | an advocate for agribusiness, both as a private lawyer and in government,
| + | |
− | is characterized by privileging private profit above the public good.
| + | |
− | Applied at UNICEF, this will be a disaster for the world's children.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | PLEASE SIGN ON to the People's Health Movement's Letter of Concern
| + | |
− | detailing our reservations about the appointment of Ms. Veneman and the
| + | |
− | appointment process. To read the letter and sign on, go to
| + | |
− | [http://www.saveunicef.org/ www.saveunicef.org] Thank you for defending UNICEF's mission.
