About the Third International Decade for the Eradication of Poverty

Worldwide
EVENT NAME:
Third International Decade Poverty Eradication
EVENT CATEGORIES:
Civil Rights , Finance & Banking
Career
Dates Active:
Begins: Jan 01, 2018
Ends: Dec 31, 2027

DESCRIPTION:

Hunger, malnutrition, lack of education, lack of opportunity, poor health, and discrimination are just some of the results and stigma associated with poverty.

If you've ever experienced a period of time in your own life when you weren't sure where the money was going to come from to pay the rent, buy food or medicine, where you couldn't travel to visit family, or had to drop out of school because you couldn't come up with tuition, you've had a taste of what millions of people live with every day. You know the fear, the all-consuming anxiety, and the hopelessness that comes with it.

The United Nations continues to address all perspectives of poverty globally and has continued its decade into a third term until poverty becomes a thing of the past.
