World Consumer Rights Day 2010
Our money, our rights
The global consumer movement will once again unite for a day of action on 15 March 2010.
The theme for World Consumer Rights Day (WCRD) 2010 is ‘Our money, our rights’ and will highlight consumer issues in relation to financial services.
CI is working with our members to build an international picture of the experiences of consumer organisations and consumers in this area, and will facilitate the exchange of information and experiences between our members in the build up to WCRD 2010.
