Share The World’s Resources (STWR) are hosting an online presentation and discussion about our campaign for Article 25 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Article 25 proclaims the right of everyone to adequate food, housing, healthcare and social security. But still today, millions of people subsist without sufficient means for survival. Hunger crises are escalating alarmingly, while emergency appeals from the United Nations remain tragically underfunded.
Even in the wealthiest nations, we are witnessing a continuing rise in levels of hunger and deprivation. Yet there is enough food and resources in the world for everyone to enjoy a dignified and fulfilling life, with the basics guaranteed.
Our presentation will outline the current reality of extreme poverty across the world, and the need for human rights to be protected by the rule of law within every nation. We suggest that only the massed goodwill of ordinary people calling for Article 25 can bring about an end to poverty in a world of plenty.
Participants are invited to discuss these issues and join a growing movement that calls on governments to share the world’s resources.
Time: 7pm (GMT) on Wednesday 5th February (convert timezone)
