_2012 Campaign of the CATHII
_ Since
1987, sustainable development has been increasingly on the minds of many, both
on international and local levels. It has been brought up in all the major
meetings of the United Nations, whenever there was a question of fighting
against poverty, promoting decent work, or anticipating future needs of the
planet and its peoples.
The Conference of Nations, gathering in Rio + 20 and scheduled for June 2012, will call together most of the nations of the world that are looking for sustainable development, a green economy, and the reduction of poverty. In 2012, members of the CATHII stressed the basic initiative of social protection, which constitutes an important tool for the reduction of poverty, particularly, extreme poverty. We are also aware that the zones of poverty and of extreme poverty are fertile ground nourishing human trafficking and forced labor. Through this campaign and the proof that the social dimension of sustainable development demands a battle against obstacles favoring human trafficking and forced labor, members of CATHII and their partners want to make heard internationally the voice of the voiceless, especially at times when the United Nations will be gathering for conferences and nations will be committing themselves before other nations. Moreover, members of CATHII are agreeable to address special requests at a national level. |
