We urge to give this Conference the political weight it deserves and commit to participate at the highest political level of representation. It is evident that the financial and economic crisis has resulted in a poverty crisis. All peoples and all nations are negatively affected. The crisis has exacerbated the living conditions of the most impoverishment. New estimates by the World Bank put an additional 53 million people living under $2 a day as a result of the financial crisis above the 130-155 million people already pushed into poverty in 2008 from the food and fuel crises. With an estimate 70 percent of these individuals being women, we know the face of this crisis has a woman’s face. The crisis is likely to be long and severe. More importantly, the financial and economic crisis will come to an end, but the poverty crisis will continue for years to come. While the crisis originated in industrialized countries, the developing countries and marginalized groups will suffer the impacts the most. In the case of the food, fuel and climate change crises, this also holds true. Unfortunately, countries hardest hit have not had a place at the table where global solutions are currently being shaped. Although we acknowledge the attempt by the Group of 20 leaders to reach consensus on some immediate measures, it is clear that the UN is the only forum to have the broad ownership, knowledge and political support required to provide global solutions premised on the interests of all. At the UN, all countries have a place at the decision-making table. Working together at the June Conference, countries can ensure that the extensive work required to transform a global financial architecture to address a global development agenda can be carried out. This is also necessary in order to build a broad consensus on lasting and sustainable reforms for the international financial and monetary system that make it resilient to crises in the future. In line with this, many countries have already announced that they will send their Heads of State to the UN Conference. We, therefore, urge you to lead a delegation of Ministers of Finance, Trade, Development Cooperation, Commerce and Foreign Affairs to help strengthen the result of this global UN effort. As a member of the Global Call to Action against Poverty, we are part of a global civil society alliance of social movements, non-governmental organizations, trade unions, community groups, women’s organizations, faith and youth groups, local associations and campaigners working together across more than 100 national coalitions/platforms.   GCAP calls for action from the world’s leaders to meet their promises to end poverty and inequality. In particular, GCAP demands solutions that address the issues of public accountability, just governance and the fulfillment of human rights; trade justice; more and better aid; debt cancellation and gender equality and women’s rights.
