International Day for the Eradication of Poverty 

The International Day for the Eradication of Poverty is observed annually on 17 October. This day serves as a global reminder of the ongoing efforts to alleviate poverty and address the root causes of this persistent issue.

The International Day for the Eradication of Poverty was first officially recognized by the United Nations in 1992, following a call to action by activists and organizations dedicated to poverty eradication. The day aims to promote awareness about poverty and inequality, as well as to mobilize efforts to overcome them.

Poverty remains one of the greatest challenges facing humanity, with millions of people worldwide living in extreme poverty and lacking access to necessities such as food, shelter, education, and healthcare. The International Day for the Eradication of Poverty provides an opportunity to highlight the experiences and voices of those affected by poverty, as well as to advocate for policies and actions that address its underlying causes.

The theme for the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty varies each year but is always focused on highlighting different aspects of poverty and inequality, as well as showcasing successful initiatives and strategies for poverty reduction.

Ultimately, the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty serves as a call to action for individuals, governments, and organizations to renew their commitment to ending poverty in all its forms and ensuring a more just, equitable, and sustainable future for all.
