Oxfam Japan International Volunteer Group Awareness Workshop - "The International Debt Crisis"
Topic: "The International Debt Crisis: The Crippling Burden on the Developing World"
Financial loans were once viewed as the answer to lifting the Third World out of poverty. But with developing nations unable to afford even the most basic of necessities, the added burden of loan repayments, not to mention interest, has meant that defaults on these loans have become a regular occurrence. Now the very loans intended to give a helping hand have left the world's most impoverished nations crippled by debt and in a state of absolute financial crisis. How can this cycle of spiralling debt and poverty be broken? Join us as we explore the state of the international debt crisis and what can and should be done to overcome it.
