The Global Poverty Project’s presentation entitled ‘1.4 billion reasons’ is a thought provoking presentation that encourages audiences to make simple changes to their lifestyles, enabling the world’s poorest to break the poverty cycle.
The presentation will include information on how your everyday actions - what you learn, say, buy, give and do - is connected to ending extreme poverty. Small actions at your end can create big opportunities for the world’s poorest.
POSITION SUMMARY
This new position is part of the Overseas Program Team and undertakes key functions in managing IWDA’s overseas program and working with overseas partners on the identification, implementation and evaluation of projects/activities/initiatives supported by IWDA in Papua New Guinea.
There’s still time to have your say. The Australian Government is asking everyone in Australia what they think about human rights. The National Human Rights Consultation is being run by an independent committee, led by Father Frank Brennan. This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to speak out about human rights and tell the Australian Government how human rights can be better protected. The deadline for submissions is 15 June 2009.
International Women’s Development Agency (IWDA) is committed to collaborating with project partners and stakeholders to promote and support dialogue in relation to women, gender and development. As part of our ongoing strategy to advocate for best practice in the sector, we are pleased to bring you the June 2009 edition of E-Gender - a mechanism for Australian and international readers to share information on their gender and development work, both nationally and internationally, as well as sharing international resources and items of interest.
Thank you for your feedback to date, and we encourage your ongoing input in this initiative. IWDA is keen to feature information about resources, events and opportunities in Australia and invites you to contribute.
Every day millions of women and young girls collect water for their families - a ritual that reinforces gender inequalities in employment and education. - United Nations Human Development report 2006
This is just one example of the burden women bear in developing countries. For IWDA and our partners, promoting women’s right to sustainable use, and protection, of the environment and natural resources is essential.
In our winter edition of our newsletter you will read stories that show that not only are women central to sustainable natural resource management but they are also powerful agents of change.
