International Day for the Eradication of Poverty 17 October

Background

In a world characterized by an unprecedented level of economic development, technological means and financial resources, that millions of persons are living in extreme poverty is a moral outrage. Poverty is not solely an economic issue, but rather a multidimensional phenomenon that encompasses a lack of both income and the basic capabilities to live in dignity.

 

Persons living in poverty experience many interrelated and mutually reinforcing deprivations that prevent them from realizing their rights and perpetuate their poverty, including:


 

dangerous work conditions

unsafe housing

lack of nutritious food

unequal access to justice

lack of political power

limited access to health care
