Social Watch Launches 2005 Report
Social Watch launched its 2005 annual report in September in New York. “Roars and Whispers: Gender and Poverty: Promises vs. Action” presents two new indexes to measure social development and concludes that Millennium Development Goal (MDG) targets set for 2015 will not be met.
The Social Watch report was released on the eve of the United Nations’ 2005 World Summit, Sept. 14-16. The summit’s themes include discussions on progress made toward fulfilling MDGs. The Social Watch report includes individual reports from more than 50 nations that make up the Social Watch citizens’ network. Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy’s Patricia Jurewicz and Kristin Dawkins co-authored the United States section of the report with Alexandra Spieldoch, Tanya Dawkins and Thea Lee. IATP has written the U.S. chapter of Social Watch for the last eight years. Earlier this year, IATP issued a compendium of those chapters entitled “Eye on America”.
