Joanne Baker has been campaigning for many
years on issues of human rights and environmental rights. She is a founding director of Child Victims of War, a charity set up in 2003
in response to the humanitarian tragedy in Iraq.
The aim is to help
and empower Iraqi children and their communities who have been affected
by the environmentally devastating legacy of war. Of particular
concern is the use of cluster bombs and depleted uranium weapons. Much
of the charity’s support comes from individuals and grassroot groups in
Britain. We are exploring issues of solidarity, responsibility and
social justice. In fact ‘charity’ is a misnomer! Joanne is a graduate of CHE with an MSc in Human Ecology.
