Description |
- Wherever people are condemned to live in extreme
poverty, human rights are violated.
- To come together to ensure that these rights be
respected is our solemn duty.
- One of the main aims of the day is to make the voice of
the poor heard.
- To this end, commemorations often include testimonies
from people living in poverty, describing their own
experiences or those of people they know.
