The Real Cost of Debt: What’s behind the stories - and how we change course
Address:
Online,
01:00PM-02:30PM
Join us on 10 December 2026, Human Rights Day, to connect the lived experience of Global South activists with the concept of a systemic crisis in the Global South.

This webinar will also present the outcomes of two recent reports: Eurodad’s “The Real Cost of Debt” and Debt Justice UK’s “How external debt burdens are helping drive cuts in spending on healthcare and education”. It will connect the reports’ analysis with the storytellers’ testimonies and invite a discussion on how we change course on debt as the main obstacle to advancing democracy, climate action, and gender-sensitive policies in the Global South.
Full panel to be confirmed
Interpretation into French and Spanish is available
