Seth Abloso is working with the Ghana Trades Union Congress, a campaign for human rights. Also he is a member of the GCAP Africa Council, working to fight against poverty.
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. In particular, we demand solutions that address the issues of
* Public accountability, just governance and the fulfilment of human rights
* Trade justice
* A major increase in the quantity and quality of aid and financing for development
* Debt cancellation
* Gender equality must also be at the heart of eradicating poverty.
The CIVICUS World Assembly is a forum for international civil society representatives to get together, exchange ideas, experiences and build strategies for a just world.
