Use  your rights to end poverty

    
    
  
Dear Maree,

    More than 1 billion people across all  continents live in slums <http://www.amnesty.org/sites/default/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=64439&qid=1737762> .   More  than half a million women die <http://www.amnesty.org/sites/default/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=64440&qid=1737762>  each year from  complications related to pregnancy and childbirth  – one every minute.  Every day, in every region of the  world, people  living in poverty are discriminated against <http://www.amnesty.org/sites/default/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=64441&qid=1737762>  –  whether through individual acts of others, or  institutional discrimination by the  state.  We have documented human rights  violations that deepen poverty. It is human rights violations that lead to  discrimination, exclusion, maternal deaths,  eviction from homes, segregation in schools, or  women dying in pregnancy from lack of access to  health care.  All across the world, we have documented  evidence of human rights violations that have kept  people poor. Taken together, these human rights  violations and evidence highlight the poor state  of progress towards achieving the Millennium  Development Goals.
 This September 2010, world  leaders will meet at the UN Millennium Development  Goals (MDG) Summit to accelerate progress towards  achieving the MDG targets by 2015. Amnesty  International will be there, putting across your  voice and demanding an increased focus on human  rights protection as the solution to global  poverty. Sign the petition by 10  September and we will deliver your  signature to MDG Summit Presidents.

What  are Millenium Development Goals  ?

In 2000, countries around the  world agreed to eight Millennium Development Goals  (MDGs) as a global initiative to eradicate poverty  by 2015.  Ten years on, some progress has  been made, but this has been uneven. There are  still several impoverished and excluded  communities that have yet to see the better life  of the new millennium that was promised to the  world. The MDGs focus on eight areas, each with  their respective targets that are to be met by the  deadline: End Poverty and Hunger, Universal  Education, Gender Equality, Child Health, Maternal  Health, Combat HIV/AIDS, Environment  Sustainability, Global Partnership.
