Thank you, DG.

The case could not be made better...

The next concrete step that policy makers around the world need to do, is putting the Social Protection Floor as a tangible, realisable,  affordable and effective  Goal into the the post 2015 Sustainable Development agenda- after having adopted the SPF unanimously as a  social development  strategy already in 2012.

So if the consensus is there, the language is there,  the case is made, what stops us from giving social protection as a social, societal and  economic necessity into the goals that the global community wants to achieve in the next two decades.

 There is one thing that we can all do today:  sign up to the online petition of the New York based NGOs and the Global Coalition for the Social Protection Floor.  We want a million signatures before the UN open working group publishes its proposals for the SGDs later this year.

Take an action today to end poverty:  Add your signature in support of the Social Protection Floor Initiative           http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/signature-campaign-social-protectionfloor.html

    This e-discussion is intended to facilitate the exchange of knowledge and to
    stimulate discussion; 
    the interpretations and p

    “We, the Peoples” are the first words of the UN Charter. The UN was founded in 1945 and
    mandated to respond to the needs and rights of all persons, in every country of the world. In this spirit of social justice, a real world recovery means a recovery for all
    persons, not simply the recovery of a few economic indicators and
    companies.
