SUMMARY:International Day for the Eradication of Poverty
DESCRIPTION:The observance of the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty can be traced back to 17 October 1987. On that day\, over a hundred thousand people gathered at the Trocadéro in Paris\, where the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was signed in 1948\, to honour the victims of extreme poverty\, violence and hunger. \nThey proclaimed that poverty is a violation of human rights and affirmed the need to come together to ensure that these rights are respected. These convictions are inscribed in a commemorative stone unveiled on this day. Since then\, people of all backgrounds\, beliefs and social origins have gathered every year on October 17th to renew their commitment and show their solidarity with the poor. \nReplicas of the commemorative stone have been unveiled around the world and serve as a gathering place to celebrate the Day. One such replica is located in the garden of United Nations Headquarters and is the site of the annual commemoration organized by the United Nations Secretariat in New York. \nThrough resolution 47/196 adopted on 22 December 1992\, the General Assembly declared 17 October as the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty and invited all States to devote the Day to presenting and promoting\, as appropriate in the national context\, concrete activities with regard to the eradication of poverty and destitution. \nThe resolution further invites intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations to assist States\, at their request\, in organizing national activities for the observance of the Day\, and requests the Secretary-General to take\, within existing resources\, the measures necessary to ensure the success of the Day’s observance by the United Nations.\nOctober 17th presents an opportunity to acknowledge the effort and struggle of people living in poverty\, a chance for them to make their concerns heard\, and a moment to recognize that poor people are the first ones to fight against poverty. Participation of the poor themselves has been at the center of the Day’s celebration since its very beginning. The commemoration of October 17 th also reflects the willingness of people living in poverty to use their expertise to contribute to the eradication of poverty. \nDownload the UN General Assembly Resolution A/RES/47/196 of 31 March 1993.\nEnglish | Français | Español | Русский | عربي | 汉语

SUMMARY:Unfinished business: 50 years after Henderson
DESCRIPTION:Registration information is at: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/unfinished-business-50-years-after-henderson-tickets-1736078881669 \nThe Henderson Commission of Inquiry into Poverty (1972-1975) identified structural inequality as the primary driver of poverty and recommended a suite of measures to ensure no Australian would fall below the poverty line. Fifty years later\, around 3.3 million Australians (13.4%) remain in poverty\, with persistent gender inequality and the welfare state’s systematic failure to serve First Nations peoples representing critical unfinished business from Henderson’s agenda. \nThis online panel event examines the trajectory of Australian poverty policy since Henderson’s landmark report\, analysing why many of the report’s core recommendations were not implemented and how poverty has evolved in the context of labour market casualisation\, housing unaffordability\, and the development of an increasingly punitive social security system. The panel discussion will be guided by three key questions: \nHow has the nature and measurement of poverty changed since 1975?\nWhat structural barriers continue to prevent effective poverty reduction?\nWhat future policy innovations could achieve Henderson’s goal of ensuring no Australian falls below the poverty line?\nDrawing on contemporary poverty research\, policy analysis\, and lived experience\, panellists will assess contemporary social policy frameworks against Henderson’s original vision\, while also exploring future opportunities for change. \nFacilitator: \nDr Cassandra Goldie AO is CEO of ACOSS and Adjunct Professor with UNSW Sydney. Cassandra has represented the interests of people who are disadvantaged\, and civil society generally\, in major national and international processes as well as in grassroots communities. Cassandra is Co-Chair of the ACOSS and UNSW Sydney Poverty and Inequality Partnership\, and a member of the Federal Government’s independent Economic Inclusion Advisory Committee. In 2023\, she was appointed an Officer of the Order of Australia (AO) for distinguished services to social justice through leadership and advocacy\, promoting the rights of marginalised and disadvantaged people. \nPanellists: \nAssociate Professor Bruce Bradbury is an Associate Professor at the Social Policy Research Centre (SPRC) and part of the UNSW Poverty and Inequality Partnership. His research looks at poverty\, inequality and economic disadvantage and the role of government policies in their creation\, alleviation and prevention. He is the co-author of the 2015 book Too many children left behind: The U.S. achievement gap in comparative perspective and a co-editor and author of the 2001 book The Dynamics of Child Poverty in Industrialised Countries. \nProfessor Kay Cook is the Associate Dean of Research in the School of Social Sciences\, Media\, Film and Education at Swinburne University and the only female academic or qualitative researcher on the federal Economic Inclusion Advisory Committee. Her research focuses on the gender of social policy processes and their outcomes\, which are often most striking and disadvantageous for single mother families. \nJeremy Poxon is a welfare rights activist based in Ballarat. As a lead organiser on the grassroots campaign to Raise the Rate\, Jeremy worked alongside welfare recipients to push their demands for economic justice to the forefront of the national agenda. His investigations and condemnations of Australia’s welfare system regularly appear in the ABC\, The Guardian\, SBS\, and elsewhere.

SUMMARY:WEBINAR Repeat Failure: Why Australia’s workforce programs aren’t working
DESCRIPTION:Australia’s social security system is placing ever more obligations and conditions on those it serves\, while simultaneously reducing the support it offers to them. At the same time\, record amounts are being spent supporting private and profit-driven providers to administer the system. \nAll of this is being done under the guise of helping people find work. In light of that rationale and the billions spent on the system each year\, it is timely to ask whether Australia’s approach to workforce participation is serving its purported goal – to help people find work. \nJoin us for a special webinar from Anglicare Australia to learn about Repeat Failure\, a landmark piece of research that unpacks why Australia’s workforce programs aren’t working. You will hear from: \n\nMaiy Azize\, Deputy Director of Anglicare Australia and author of Repeat Failure\nAssociate Professor Elise Klein of the Australian National University’s Crawford School of Public Policy\nwebinKristin O’Connell of the Anti-Poverty Centre.\n\nRegister to receive the link to this dynamic online event

SUMMARY:Foodbank Hunger Report 2024
DESCRIPTION:the Foodbank Hunger Report 2024  finds Low-income households at breaking point and routinely skipping meals \nLow-income households are enduring the highest rates of food insecurity since the onset of the cost-of-living crisis\, according to the Foodbank Hunger Report 2024\, released today. \nNow in its eleventh year\, the report from food relief organisation Foodbank\, surveyed 4\,260 people and highlights the growing divide between those who are able to absorb or adapt to rising costs and those being left behind.

SUMMARY:Chat for Change - End Child Poverty
DESCRIPTION:This Anti-Poverty Week we invite you to host a Chat for Change to End Child Poverty – during 13-19 October. \nPoverty for children isn’t just about missing out on meals or a safe place to sleep. Many might think that a child leaving their precious teddy behind is inconsequential. But children develop deep bonds with their teddies\, that when they have to leave then behind\, it’s like losing a best friend. Children who live in poverty are sometimes forced to move frequently. \nFor children a teddy represents security\, companionship\, comfort\, belonging\, safety and most importantly friendship. Losing a friend at such a young age\, can have a lifelong impact on how they believe in themselves. \n“When I moved\, I didn’t even get to bring my baby teddy bear\, this made me sad and nervous\,”  – Mary 7 years old \nYour Chat for Change can involve: \n\nPrint and place the End Child Poverty Poster around your office\nPlay our video on End Child Poverty to your team\nAsk everyone to sign the petition\nGet your CEO to make a 15sec video\, post and TAG VCI\nPut your event in your newsletter\nAsk ONE organisation to pledge to the campaign\nRegister your Chat for Change event with Anti-Poverty Week here\n\n  \nDOWNLOAD THE CHAT FOR CHANGE PDF

SUMMARY:Report Launch - Essential Connections - The Internet as an Essential Service
DESCRIPTION:This report from Anglicare Australia will explore how poverty limits access to the internet and online services\, and conversely\, how this lack of access can worsen poverty. As governments have come to take internet access for granted\, more and more services now depend on this access. In Essential Connections\, Anglicare Australia calls for the internet to be treated and regulated as an essential service similar to water and electricity.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Play\, Participation & Poverty
DESCRIPTION:Play\, participation & poverty:\n– How our policies can create fairer\, healthier futures for children & young people \nWith Anti-Poverty Week and Children’s Week both falling in October\, NAPCAN is taking a look at the important overlap between the themes of the two weeks: child poverty and play. \nThis fresh conversation will build on what we already know… that:\n– activities like outdoor play\, organised sport\, dance and drama outside of school are good for the future health of all children\n– the benefits are greatest for young people who commonly have the least access to these activities (ie from lower-income families)\n– our policies have the power to remove many of the barriers that lock people out of opportunities to play and participate\n– fantastic local examples are providing insight into simple smart investments that are creating fairer\, more protective communities for children. \nWe’ll hear from passionate researchers and advocates on the topic:\n– Dr Alex O’Donnell from the University of Tasmania will share his research about how extracurricular activities benefit children and young people\, including new research about impacts on mental health\n– Sally Weir from the Department of Territory Families\, Housing and Communities\, Northern Territory Government and Rachel Fosdick\, the Board Secretary and Founder of Palmerston and Regional Basketball Association\, will talk about the Palmerston Youth Activities Programs and the benefits that are being seen when young people are connected to activities in fair and equal ways.\n– Hyahno Moser founder of the Australian Institute of Play\, will share his decades of experience promoting access to outdoor neighbourhood play including in organisations such as Nature Play and Logan Together\, Qld. \nThis will be an engaging conversation for anyone who works with children or youth\, or who is interested in creating smart evidence-based policies (including at federal\, state\, local levels) to give every child in every community a fair go. \nMonday 23 October 2023\n2pm AEDT\n1pm AEST\n12.30pm NT \nRegister here\nhttps://napcan-org-au.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_14gCPEs-T0CZ8P99M2u5Ew

SUMMARY:Life Course Centre Seminar Series: How does social position shape health and wealth across the life-course?
DESCRIPTION:There are two broad ‘social facts’ across societies that are usually analysed separately but which are\, in reality\, intimately connected: the inverse association between social and economic position (SEP) and health (known as the ‘social gradient in health‘) and the strong association between family environment and a child’s subsequent educational and occupational attainment (known as the ‘reproduction of social position’). Rather than being separate issues\, these stylised facts actually share a common origin in a process which I term ‘embodiment’ where individual physiology and psychology come to embody socio-structural position. Embodiment shapes individual health and life chances and through this\, forges societal inequalities in health and social position across social groups. Using the work of Pierre Bourdieu and evidence from longitudinal studies from across the life course\, the seminar will explore the mechanisms through which social and economic environment shapes us and the policy implications of this. \nRichard Layte is a Professor of Sociology. Much of his work stems from a core interest in the structure of social and economic stratification in modern societies and its impact on individual life-chances\, health and well-being. His research examines the fundamental processes which influence the distribution of health and well-being in societies and how these are shaped by political economy and the structure and functioning of health care systems. He has a particular interest in improving understanding of how family background influences child health and development and the impact this has on the child’s educational outcomes\, adult health and life expectancy. Recent work has examined whether the ‘Great Recession’ in Ireland had an effect on child health and development (the short answer is that it did in several very important ways)\, the pathways and mechanisms through which these effects occurred and the implications of this for life course models of health and well-being. He has a keen interest in the intersection of social\, psychological and biological science and works with colleagues across a range of disciplines.
