Great news everyone, the London fundraising group’s first meeting has confirmed the speaker. John Cropper, Global Programme Coordinator will be speaking on Oxfam’s campaign for global gender equality.
Global gender equality is becoming increasingly important, with inadequacies in health care causing over 529,000 women die of pregnancy related complications every year not to mention the 8 million (same population as Greater London) to 20 million a year that suffer serious injury or disability from the same causes. The problems unfortunately stretch further than health care, in South Asia alone at least 50 million women are ‘missing’ due to violence and discrimination. Oxfam is working with women and men all over the world to try to aim for a world with more gender equity.
If you are interested in this issue, like cheese or wine, want to meet people with a similar passion about what Oxfam does, or just want to find out more about Oxfam, it’s internal politics, and how it brings security and dignity to some of the most treacherous parts of the world, do pop along to the London group’s first meeting.
