Dear Comrades,
We have the pleasure of inviting you to the forthcoming:
15 Actions to eradicate Poverty in 15 Years
XXX. IUSY World Congress
Copenhagen, Denmark – 28th February to 2nd March 2014
“Overcoming poverty is not a task of charity, it is an act of justice. Like Slavery and Apartheid, poverty is not natural. It is man-made and it can be overcome and eradicated by the actions of human beings.” — Nelson Mandela
Although the extreme poverty rates have been cut in half since 1990, 1 in 8 people still remain hungry today. As Nelson Mandela said, poverty is man-made and it can be overcome and eradicated by the actions of human beings. So it is now up to us to keep on fighting against poverty and develop concrete actions to achieve a social wellbeing for all. Furthermore we can no longer neglect the link among the economic, social and environmental dimensions of development, achieving social wellbeing for all requires policy making, where social equity, economic growth and environmental protection are approached together.
Together with you we want to develop an IUSY World Campaign promoting 15 Actions to eradicate poverty in the next 15 years. Together we can and will make a difference! We are looking forward to meet all of you again to enjoy both the fun and the politics. Our hosting organization, DSU in Denmark, is happy to welcome all of you to Copenhagen.
With Socialist Regards,
Viviana Piñero
IUSY President
Beatriz Talegón
IUSY Secretary General
