The situation in Darfur is the most urgent human rights and humanitarian crisis in the world right now and, as such, it compels Calvert to act. That is why Calvert began seeking ways in which we might help end the atrocities and genocide in Sudan. We were struck by the growing and potential future impact of the Sudan divestment movement, the most significant divestment movement to have emerged since the successful campaign to end apartheid in South Africa. And we resolved to make the most appropriate contribution we could--above and beyond ensuring that our own funds do not invest in companies materially involved in Sudan.
We are therefore announcing a partnership with the Sudan Divestment Task Force (SDTF) and the Save Darfur Coalition (SDC). SDTF, an organization under the umbrella of the Genocide Intervention Network, is now at the forefront of the global Sudan divestiture movement. SDC leads the overall campaign in this country to end the genocide and suffering in Darfur. (More)
