Support for petition: Ending extreme Poverty, a Road to Peace!

The 17th October 2007 is International Day Against Poverty. To mark the day and increase its impact human rights NGOs from four different continents have come together to launch a declaration that calls for all citizens, local and national authorities, and the United Nations to recognise poor and excluded people as key stakeholders in the fight against poverty and ensure that they are able to fully participate in decisions that affect them.

You can support the declaration Ending extreme Poverty, a Road to Peace! by signing the online petition at www.oct17.org.

The Declaration can be signed until 1st October and will be presented to the United Nations on 17th October 2007.
