Six
years ago, 189 world leaders sat down and agreed to end poverty and
achieve the Millennium Development Goals by 2015. On 15 & 16
October, over 23 million people across the world stood up to remind them
of this promise. STAND UP is part of the Global Call to Action Against Poverty month of mobilization around The International Day for the Eradication of Poverty (IDEP).
