Three months ago, an event called the Asia Pacific Breakthrough Summit to End Global Poverty was held in Melbourne. The event raised a staggering one-point-two billion dollars in donations and pledges from Government and non-Government agencies. The money will be used to raise the status of women in the Asia-Pacific region. The summit also set a plan in motion to promote an alliance of the thousands of religious charities, women's and development NGOs in the region.
