social justice lady to the rescue

A friend recommended I should go as Social Justice Girl next year for Halloween! Great idea! now just come up with the actual costume.. 
Today I had my first presentation on a social justice issue: child poverty.  It has taken us centuries to finally talk about it and realize how deep the problem really is. I just hope it doesn't take another century to actually do something about it?
Nonetheless while researching I came across some startling facts and believe it or not London has taken the first step in eradicating child poverty after a recent study showed 4 in 10 children were living in poverty in the city.  Great link worth checking out.
