A motto that inspires change
The new Manos Unidas campaign for 2025, with the slogan ‘Sharing is our greatest wealth’, seeks not only to recognize the solidarity of society, but also urge a deep reflection on how the wealth of the world can be used to eradicate Poverty and inequality.
Growing inequalities in a growing world
Despite global economic growth, Mans Unidas states that inequality is expanding, especially affecting the communities of the global south. Access to essential services such as education, health and decent work is still a luxury for millions.
Alarming data
The numbers are forceful: 733 million people fight hunger; 700 million live in extreme poverty conditions; and 1.2 billion experience multidimensional poverty. In addition, more than 4 billion people do not enjoy any social protection.
Causes of inequality
According to Mans Unidas, inequality is based on excessive individualism, obsession with economic benefit and blind confidence in technological solutions, obstacles that prevent a decent life from being accessible to all.
The importance of collaboration
Despite the adversities, the NGO expects international governments and institutions to join to ensure that everyone can enjoy equitable opportunities. International cooperation is vital, especially in the face of crisis such as climatic or armed conflict.
A sustainable future
Mans Unidas emphasizes the need to control the deregulation of markets, which contributes to the increase in inequalities, and promotes a ‘shared genuine prosperity’ that benefits everyone.
Fostering the social economy
The campaign calls for social and solidarity economy models, inspired by initiatives such as the economy of Francesc, and invites society to promote behaviors that reflect a commitment to social justice.
Collective action and commitment
Mans Unidas believes that sharing is more than an act of generosity; It is an essential element in the fight against hunger and inequality. This year’s goal is to provide support for more than 2 million people living in extreme poverty before the end of 2025, with 90% of the contributions for projects directly.
