I just got an email from Amnesty International part of the "Demand dignity "which have been launched in an attempt to eradicate global poverty that violates human rights of much of the world population. It seems so right that just copy and paste, difundámoslo.
" If your income is one or two dollars a day you say you are poor, but your rights may be even less if nobody bothers to calculate. You have no right to housing, because it forcibly evicted from which you have always lived for a multi-exploit natural resources at home. You have no right to health, because your baby dies of a small complication in delivery. Your sons and daughters have no right to education because they can not go school.
To report this, where you claim?, Who listens? The economic crisis that focuses the attention and efforts of governments, is compounding what was already an explosive human rights crisis. Therefore, together with its annual report that makes data and faces to this crisis, Amnesty International has launched Demand Dignity. Our challenge is to break the cycle of lack of participation, exclusion and injustice to the people that have left governments in the gutter to violate their human rights obligations. Because poverty is not inevitable: it is a result of policies and practices concrete.
We urge the G-20 countries which have proclaimed leaders to address the economic crisis, which put human rights at the heart of his leadership. If you have been able to coordinate and raise untold sums to revive the economy, why not put the same effort to meet its responsibility to the rights of the 963 million hungry people or 1000 million living in slums ?
