To create awareness, 17th of October is recognized and celebrated as an international day for the eradication of poverty. 

The International Day for the Eradication of Poverty is an international observance dedicated each year on this day. The first remembrance of the occasion was carried in Paris, France in 1987 when 100,000 people assembled on the Human Rights and Liberties Plaza at the Trocadéro to praise sufferers of deprivation, starvation, violence, and fear. Initiated by Joseph Wresinski, creator of the International Movement ATD Fourth World. In 1992, four years after Wresinski’s demise, the United Nations officially established October 17 as the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty.

 Wresinski acknowledged that administrations frequently ignored the hardship of those living in poverty, overseeing the impressions of denial, embarrassment, and crime. As an outcome, one of the main goals of the Day is to recognize the battles of the underprivileged and to give rise to their voices to reach out to every ear. Participation by the poorest of people is a crucial facet of the observance of the Day. 

This year captions the 27th anniversary, this year also celebrates the 32nd anniversary of the Call to Action by Father Joseph Wresinski. 

International day for the eradication of poverty 2020 – Theme

This day’s been celebrated by theme every year, and the theme for 2020 is “Acting together to achieve social and environmental justice for all” The theme for the Day this year communicates the challenge of attaining social and environmental justice for all. 

Let’s keep the ignorance behind, and celebrate this day by joining the movement on social media by using the hashtag #EndPoverty and promoting the call to action to bind with people from around the world who have enrolled in the battle to conquer poverty.
