World Health Organization [English] Text only About Us News ... Vaccines Home The History of Vaccination Introduction The two public health interventions that have had the greatest impact on the world's health clean water and vaccines. Thanks to such pioneers as Jenner and Pasteur, a handful of vaccines prevent illness or death for millions of individuals every year. But there is still a long way to go. Immunization, the most cost-effective public health intervention, continues to be uncer-used.. It is profoundly tragic that almost two million children still die each year from diseases for which are available at low cost . And over 90 000 fall victim to paralytic polio, which could also have been prevented by immunization. Indeed, many years elapsed between the invention of current vaccines and their widespread use in immunization programmes. The reasons for these delays are many and complex. If history is to serve any useful purpose, it should help us to find ways to avoid such delays in future. The invention era The closing years of the 19 th century and the early years of the 20 th century were marked by the achievements of great vaccine scientists such as Pasteur.

We find various systems of kinship (patrilineal, matrilineal and mixed forms), of political centralisation (from 'acephalous' to 'state'), different artistic expressions, ecological habitats, agricultural and economic specialisation, etc. Both regions are also endowed with comparatively abundant historical sources (medieval Arab geographers, Portuguese navigators of the fifteenth century, European and Cape-Verdian traders, etc.). These afford us with a considerable time-depth of textual documentation. All of these features render the region an ideal location for social/cultural-anthropological studies, both synchronic and diachronic, as well as for historical studies. An even greater time-depth is attained by archaeology, for which the region also offers great prospects. Quite some research has already been carried out in and near the flood plains of the rivers

In 1991 the two nations signed a friendship and cooperation treaty. A military coup in 1994 overthrew the president and banned political activity, but a new 1996 constitution and presidential elections, followed by parliamentary balloting in 1997, have completed a nominal return to civilian rule.

Organization - Who We Are, What We Do Purpose Accomplishments Board of Directors • Purpose "Around the world, wherever human rights are violated, women and girls suffer the most." - Margaret A. Schuler, President, WLDI In both industrialized and developing countries, women are more likely than men to live in poverty, endure low status within the family, be refugees, migrate in search of work, suffer from poor health and nutrition and be solely responsible for the maintenance and care of children. Even worse, women and girls are increasingly victims of state-sponsored or condoned violence and repression. Female infanticide, honor killings, acid attacks, female genital mutilation, widow abuse, sexual slavery and child marriage are still practiced in too many parts of the world. And mass rape has become a common terror tactic in ethnic cleansing campaigns. In many nations, the legal systems perpetuate sex bias. Often laws and customs openly discriminate against women. Women are routinely denied their most basic economic, social, cultural, civil and political rights. Unfortunately, women who are the subject of violence and discrimination often have no idea what rights they have, or they don't know any effective methods to enforce those rights. In short, they lack the knowledge or the skills to advocate for themselves.
