75TH ANNIVERSARY OF PROGRESSIO

That this House congratulates the international development and human rights charity Progressio on its 75th anniversary; recognises that charity’s expertise in supporting some of the world's poorest and most marginalised people, especially women, to challenge unfair power structures and empower themselves; notes and supports its current work in fragile states like Somaliland, Yemen, Zimbabwe, Malawi and Haiti, as well as other developing countries such as the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Honduras and Nicaragua; believes that supporting people to acquire the voice, influence and skills which they need to take control of their lives requires long-term funding from both the government and the public alike; and calls on the Government and the public to continue supporting the invaluable work of organisations like Progressio.
