Message from our ED on International Human Rights Day
An op-ed by our Executive Director Magdalena Sepúlveda on Tax justice as a crucial tool to advance human rights, gained worldwide attention. On Human Rights Day, the world looks a lot different through a lens of social and economic rights.
“Tax avoidance and evasion by most multinationals and the richest—and its tolerance—deprives states of additional resources, representing a direct attack on human rights. Without these funds, it is impossible to restore the health services which have fought heroically against the virus—thousands of doctors and nurses have lost their lives—with meagre resources constantly under attack from austerity programmes.”
