Product Description

Product Description

This work looks at some of the main obstacles which prevent poor people from claiming the basic rights to which they are entitled, such as the widening prosperity gap, the world trade system and debt. It tells of the hard-won successes of people who are working at all levels, from village council to national government, for a better life for themselves, their families and their communities. The book uses case studies and examples taken from Africa, Asia and Latin America, information about global institutions and statistics to explain why poverty persists, what can be done to overcome it and the part everyone can play in the Oxfam Campaign. The Campaign calls upon organizations such as the World Bank, the United Nations and national governments to take action along with individuals against poverty.
