‘ By 2030, eradicate extreme poverty for all people everywhere’ . Here we have the first Sustainable Development Goal and its target.
More than 70 years ago, governments coming out of the Second World War created an era of human rights, and signed their endless commitment to protect them. The inception of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was followed by several international treaties...
In 2019, no-one should be denied access to life-saving vaccines, services for diseases such as tuberculosis (TB) and good nutrition.
