Today, 17 October, is World Poverty Day, and the Global Campaign Against Poverty (GCAP) is marking it with ‘Stand Up and Speak Out’ events all across the world. More information on these events are at the StandAgainstPoverty site.
However, what really struck me amongst the various mailers I got for the event was the UNIFEM poster which calls for increased investment in women in order to eradicate poverty.
