17TH OCTOBER

International Day for the Eradication of Poverty

International Day for the Eradication of Poverty offers an opportunity to explore poverty as an issue of rights, inequality and social justice rather than simply income. Learners can consider how poverty affects access to education, housing, food and opportunities, and examine the local and global actions that can contribute to a fairer society.
