Gender Equality and Poverty – an Indian and Mexican perspective
Oxfam strives to help create lasting solutions to the injustice of poverty. It is part of a global movement for change, empowering people to create a future that is secure, just, and free from poverty.
In a rare occurrence, hear from two leading gender development specialists, Oxfam India’s Chief Executive Officer Nisha Agrawal and Oxfam Mexico’s Executive Director Consuelo López-Zuriaga Hernández-Gil. They will discuss the role of Oxfam’s work in their respective countries and the importance of gender equality in social injustice and the reduction of poverty.
Consuelo will speak about Oxfam Mexico’s work towards gendering inequality through looking at stories of Latin American heroines. The stories will not only inspire, but also remind us that without explicitly incorporating a gender dimension to inequality, the story is incomplete.
