Alarmed that the rhinoceros population of Africa is threatened with extinction
Deeply concerned that in some countries, particularly in Asia, it is believed rhinoceros horn powder enhances sexual pleasure, cures fevers and impotence, although all claims are unfounded, and with the latest emphasis being placed on the cure of cancer
Aware that the killing of the rhinoceros is driven by greed for financial gain
THE INTERNATIONAL COUNCIL OF WOMEN urges all member countries and its Permanent Representatives to the United Nations to campaign actively to put a stop to the trade in rhinoceros horn powder.
