<P> Some of the goals and institutions that Clinton advocates for in the book include: the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act, Community Policing, the Brady Bill, Amber Alerts, immunizations, State Children's Health Insurance Program, financial regulation, expanded Child Tax Credits, Minimum Wage increases, Universal health care, personal responsibility, uniforms in schools, Goals 2000 academic framework, music warning labels, sexual abstinence, Plan B contraception, family planning, and marriage . </P> <P> The book's title is attributed to an African proverb: "It takes a village to raise a child ." The saying and its attribution as an "African" proverb were in circulation before it was adopted by Clinton as the source for the title of her book . Indeed, the saying previously provided the source for the title of a children's book entitled It Takes a Village by Jane Cowen - Fletcher, published in 1994 . </P> <P> The authenticity of the proverb is debatable as there is no evidence that this precise proverb genuinely originated with any African culture . However, numerous proverbs from different cultures across Africa have been noted that convey similar sentiments in different ways . As one poster on the scholarly list H - Net wrote, "While it is interesting to seek provenance in regard to the proverb,' It takes a village to raise a child,' I think it would be misleading to ascribe its origin to a single source...Let me give a few examples of African societies with proverbs which translate to' It takes a village ...': In Lunyoro (Banyoro) there is a proverb that says' Omwana takulila nju emoi,' whose literal translation is' A child does not grow up only in a single home .' In Kihaya (Bahaya) there is a saying,' Omwana taba womoi,' which translates as' A child belongs not to one parent or home .' In Kijita (Wajita) there is a proverb which says' Omwana ni wa bhone,' meaning regardless of a child's biological parent (s) its upbringing belongs to the community . In Swahili, the proverb' Asiyefunzwa na mamae hufunzwa na ulimwengu' approximates to the same ." </P> <P> In 2016, NPR decided to research the origins of the proverb, and concluded it was unable to pinpoint its origins, but agreed with the H - Net discussion regarding it holding the true spirits of some African cultures . It was part of a class of such - attributed sayings, with one observer stating, "If someone starts an aphorism with' there's an African saying' it's probably a mythical quote misattributed to a whole continent ." NPR itself concluded, "What we found is that it takes a lot of phone calls to track down the origins of a proverb . And in the end, the answer might be: We just don't know ." </P>
