Matters - An alternative to the language of development, aid
and charity</i> on June 19, an initiative of Viva Salud,
Be-Cause Health and Health Poverty Action. </span><br><div><p>
<span><span><br>
The dominant narrative heard today in the global North about
poverty is mainly based on charity, aid and so-called
“international development”. This narrative tells us that we
can put an end to poverty and inequity if “we” give to
“others”. Although development assistance, whatever its form,
is important, stating that aid would be the main solution to
poverty and inequity is incomplete and even damaging.<br>
<br>
With a more conscious approach to how we communicate we can
move beyond this damaging narrative, ensuring that we share
effective messages on poverty and inequality, inspire people
to take effective action and minimise any unintended harm we
may be doing.</span></span></p>
<p><span>We invite Tess Woolfenden (policy and campaigns officer at
Health Poverty Action) who will introduce us to the <i>Practical
guide for communicating global justice and solidarity</i></span><span>.
She'll discuss the most frequent traps in our communication and
explain some of the principles we can apply to move beyond them.
The guide was developed by Health Poverty Action and a couple of
members of the Progressive Development Forum such as PHM UK, PHM
West & Central Africa, Medact and NEON. The French and Dutch
translation of the guide are available via the website of <a href="https://www.vivasalud.be/over-viva-salud/publicaties/" target="_blank">Viva
