International Day of eradicate Poverty

Today Wednesday, 17 October is International Day of eradicate Poverty, focusing on the theme "Ending the Violence of Extreme Poverty: Promoting Empowerment and Building Peace".

Extreme poverty destroys the lives and spirit of people; it kills more children, young persons, and adults than any war. Every day, people living in extreme poverty are challenged and threatened by lack of food, shelter and access to essential services. They endure hazardous working conditions and live in precarious, degraded, and insecure living environments. The International Day for the Eradication of Poverty is a call to everyone to gather with people living in extreme poverty to share and exchange information, as equal partners, on initiatives that focus on the most vulnerable and excluded populations, and their active participation in poverty eradication.
