Women and special vulnerability

I the past decade UNESCO has pursued a leadership role in the articulation of general principles for bioethics, as well as an extensive campaign to promulgate these principles globally.1 Since UNESCO’s General Conference adopted the Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights in 2005, UNESCO’s Bioethics Section has worked with member states to develop a “bioethics infrastructure.” UNESCO also provides an “Ethics Teacher Training Course” to member states and disseminates a “core curriculum,” primarily targeting medical students. The core curriculum orients itself by the Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights and aims to articulate a set of “bioethical principles” that provide a “common global platform” for bioethics. The Syllabus for the Ethics Education Program reflects UNESCO’s persistent definition of bioethics as focused on “problems raised by advances in science and technology.”2 In concluding units of the Syllabus, “social responsibility and health,” responsibility to future generations, and protection of the environment are presented as special, contemporary problems, not included
