TRÓCAIRE AND THE GLOBAL GOALS

In September 2015, seventeen Global Goals for Sustainable Development (referred to as the Global Goals) were adopted by world leaders at a United Nations summit. These goals universally apply to all countries, therefore Ireland is committed to achieving them. Over the next fifteen years, efforts will be made by governments, institutions and citizens across the globe to protect the planet, to end all forms of poverty and fight inequality.

1. Lack of Access to and Control of Resources
One in nine people in the world is hungry. The world’s poor struggle to access essential natural resources such as land and water. Trócaire supports communities to access, control and protect their local natural resources, in particular land. Trócaire will work with governments and those in power for the benefit of the poorest citizens.

2. Oppression of Women
Globally, one in three women are violently abused in their lifetime. Women experience widespread social, educational, political, economic and sexual discrimination. Trócaire supports women to ensure that they have a voice in decisions that affect their lives, and that they live free from violence.

3. Humanitarian Crises
Emergencies and natural disasters are increasing in scale and frequency. Inequality and injustice deny people basic needs and protection in times of crisis. Trócaire supports communities at risk when emergencies strike.
