 Global Day of Action on Military Spending
Aotearoa New Zealand: Index Page  Time for action on military spending: - Poster - Leaflet - Facebook Global Day of Action supporting groups in Aotearoa New Zealand
Last year global military expenditure was $1.753 trillion (US$) - on average, more than $4.8 billion (US$) every day. By way of contrast, an average of more than 24,000 children under the age of five die every day from mainly preventable causes - lack of access to adequate food, clean water and basic medicines. This is one of the prices paid, the collateral damage that is seldom talked about, for maintaining armed forces in a state of combat readiness around the world.
