Other issues of interest include bias and sterotype, especially gender bias (a common problem in the region) and environmental education. Since it is a major waste of expensive bandwidth to subscribe everyone in the region to the same mailing list, we're going to have a conference (newsgroup) that picks up your mail list. If you would be so kind as to subscribe the account child-l@amman.gn.apc.org to the list, we will convert the mailing list into something more useful, and make it available to the UNICEF regional staff.
