Monday At CIGI

Next week is a busy one, friends.
Get your calendars out, here's a couple posts of things you should plan to do.

MONDAY NOVEMBER 2
(ok, a little bit of a depressing way to start the week, but it gets better)

"The Unheard Truth – Poverty and Human Rights"
with Irene Khan
CIGI
7-9PM

'Despite economic growth in almost every corner of the world over the last decade, upwards of two billion people still live in poverty. In her recently published book, The Unheard Truth, Amnesty International Secretary General Irene Khan claims that economic solutions alone cannot end the problems of poverty. Poverty is first and foremost a problem of human rights.

During her lecture, Ms. Khan will present her argument, enriched by her own personal experience, that poverty entraps people into a vicious cycle of deprivation, insecurity and exclusion. She argues that the foremost challenge is to empower people who are excluded by poverty, and makes an urgent plea for action to uphold human rights in the fight to end poverty.'
