The Center for Global Dialogue

 
The Perils of Global Poverty


Global Poverty is a massive and growing problem that has devastating implications for international security. Such poverty is at the heart of multiple and seemingly endless global conflicts. Struggles for social justice are often triggered by continuing illiteracy, hunger, and the spread of communicable diseases, all related to conditions of poverty. Our speakers will address the structures that perpetuate poverty and suggest what we can do as a community.
