The Latin American director of the Population Research Institute,
Carlos Polo, recently charged that the United Nations' donation of
20,000 “female condoms” given to Peru’s “family planning” programs are
part of a “huge business” that involves more than $33 billion worldwide.
Peru’s Ministry of Health announced Dec. 12 that the U.N. Population
Fund had donated 20,000 female condoms for the country to use in its
campaign against AIDS.
Polo clarified on Dec. 13 that the 20,000 female condoms were given
free-of-charge to Peru, but that once they are included officially as
part of the government’s family planning program, “the Peruvian State
will have to pay for them with tax-payer money.”
“This is the same thing that has happened with other contraceptive methods,” he explained.
According to a report from the U.N. Population Fund, $33 billion was
spent on population control in 2008, with $10 billion coming from
international corporations.
The other $23 billion came from the
governments of poor countries and from consumer sales of contraceptives,
Polo said.
“Contrary to what the international organizations – who portray
themselves as ‘the good guys’ – say,” Polo continued, they only
contributed a little more than “three percent of the total cost.”
The U.N. Population Fund report states that the goal for population
programs is to spend some $65 billion “in order to meet the goals
supposedly agreed to at the conference in Cairo,” he explained.
“This means the U.N. Population Fund needs to raise funds for its
questionable population policies, from supporting China’s
one-child-per-family policy and forced abortions to including this
‘novelty’ of female condoms,” Polo said.
