The International Day for the Eradication of Poverty is observed every year on October 17th. It was officially designated by the United Nations in 1992 to promote awareness and action to eradicate poverty worldwide. This day serves as an opportunity to acknowledge the struggles faced by people living in poverty and to recognize the importance of poverty eradication as a global goal.
The theme for the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty varies from year to year, but it typically focuses on various aspects of poverty and social inclusion, aiming to stimulate discussions and actions to address this critical issue. Many organizations, governments, and communities around the world use this day to raise awareness about poverty-related challenges and to mobilize efforts to reduce poverty and inequality.
Efforts to eradicate poverty involve a wide range of initiatives, such as providing access to education, healthcare, employment opportunities, social safety nets, and addressing the root causes of poverty, including economic inequality and discrimination. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), adopted by the United Nations in 2015, include the goal of eradicating poverty in all its forms, making this day a crucial part of the global efforts to achieve that goal.
