Global Secretariat</strong></font></p>
<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Last Sunday 8th March, the
Global Call to Action Against Poverty (GCAP) mobilized on International
Women’s Day 2009.</font></p>
<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">From International Women’s
Day, GCAP and others will campaign for 20 days to show the links
between the feminization of poverty and the global economic crises, but
also to show that women can play a central role in building sustainable
economies.</font></p>
<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">This is part of a series
of worldwide responses ahead of the G20 and culminating in the Global
Week of Action called for by the World Social Forum. The week of action
will start with rallies in London, Berlin, Frankfurt, Madrid and
elsewhere on March 28th.</font></p>
<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">GCAP is calling on all
leaders attending the G20 Summit in London to take back control of the
international financial system and use this crisis to undertake a root
and branch reform that puts their voters, the people, first. But we are
also calling for power to be shifted to the G192 – the United Nations,
who should become central to the role of regulation of the financial
systems.</font></p>
<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Join the mobilisation in
the coming weeks to call governments to take responsibility, take
action and put people first.</font></p>

<p><em>The Global Call to Action against Poverty (GCAP) is a growing
alliance of trade unions, community groups, faith groups, women and
youth organisations, NGOs and other campaigners working together across
more than 100 national platforms. GCAP is calling for action from the
world's leaders to meet their promises to end poverty and inequality.
The white band is our symbol and expression of solidarity against
poverty.</em></p>
