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:Release of NCOSS report Aftershock: Addressing the Economic and Social Costs of the Pandemic and Natural Disasters\, Report Four - Child Wellbeing and Development
DESCRIPTION:As NSW recovered from the 2019-20 Summer Bushfires and the first case of COVID-19 was detected in Australia in February 2020\, there was no indication of the upheaval and sacrifices that lay ahead. \nThis report series\, Aftershock: Addressing the Economic and Social Costs of the Pandemic and Natural Disasters\, explores the impacts of the pandemic and natural disasters across four key domains of wellbeing – mental health\, domestic violence\, housing security and child welfare and development – drawing together research and latest data to highlight the devastating impacts of the past two and half years. The aim is to document the huge personal and economic impacts which\, if left unaddressed\, will leave a long-term mark on the economy of NSW and its people. \nNCOSS will release its fourth in the series to mark Anti-Poverty Week.  Previous reports focused on mental health\, domestic and family violence and housing and can be found here.

SUMMARY:Poverty In The Hunter
DESCRIPTION:Very few people or groups are absent from the affects of poverty or the near poverty experience. \nWorkers\, Women\, disabled\, students\, unemployed\, pensioners\, injured workers\, families\, single parents… We all know someone worse off. \nThe working poor\, the need to ‘raise the rate’\, cost of living pressures\, the consequences of privatisation of our services\, medicare co-payments and the stripping of public education funding including TAFE and University. These are all issues that need fixing or we will only see more and more people continue to fall below the poverty line. \nBy focusing on our similarities and not our differences will we be able to tackle the inequities in our system that assures poverty continues. \nUnity across our communities is essential in identifying and highlighting our common experience\, and Unity in our efforts to combat the root cause’s and providing the solutions so that all in our communities can plan for a dignified and prosperous future. \nTogether\, We are Stronger!
