World Food Day/International Day for the Eradication of Poverty: Add to YOU(th) Report on Hunger & Poverty in Asia Pacific!

 

In 2010, 1.5 billion people were living on less than US$2.0 per day in the Asia Pacific region. Hunger and poverty are both violations of the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of individuals and their families, as protected for all people as human rights.

Food, water, work, health, education (and many more) are all basic rights that allow us to live in dignity.

We may not be able to feed everyone tomorrow, but as young people in Asia Pacific, YOU(th) can show the region that hunger & poverty are one of today’s biggest human rights violations and World Food Day (October 16)/International Day for the Eradication of Poverty (October 17) is your chance to do it!
More Human Rights = Less Poverty It may seem weird to put the two together but poverty is actually the largest human rights violation today! Food, water, work, health, education (and many more) are all basic rights that allow us to live in dignity. What’s worst is that people living in poverty are usually stripped of rights to freedom of expression and political participation so they are left voiceless. More Human Rights will empower them to break through barriers and escape poverty!
