OBJECTIVES OF THE GLOBAL DAYS OF ACTION
In March 2020, GATJ, our members and our partners are urging movements, citizens’ groups and NGOs around the world to focus their efforts on achieving the following objectives:
- Highlight the tax injustices affecting women
- Demonstrate how tax justice is an integral part of struggles for women’s rights
- Make tax justice more relevant to ordinary people and their families
- Show national leaders that their citizens will not accept rising inequalities
- Unite the constituency of ordinary people who opposes the tax injustices
- Make multinationals pay their share
Start planning your creative actions to promote #TaxJustice for Women’s Rights in the Global Days of Action, 8-20 March 2020!
