Muhammad Yunus: Abolishing Poverty - The Human Rights Priority

At a free public lecture event in Sydney, Muhammad Yunus, 2006 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, spoke on Abolishing Poverty as a Human Rights Priority.

Professor Yunus established the Grameen Bank in Bangladesh in 1983, fuelled by the belief that credit is a fundamental human right. In that time, Grameen Bank has lifted millions out of poverty by disbursing millions of tiny loans to the poor. The event was a collaboration between the Centre for Social Impact, Business for Millennium Development, World Vision and the Sydney Peace Prize.
