Explanation
The International Day for the Eradication of Poverty is observed annually on October 17. The theme for the period 2022-2023 is "Dignity for all in practice." This umbrella theme emphasizes that human dignity is not only a fundamental right but the basis of all other fundamental rights. It highlights that poverty is a multidimensional phenomenon encompassing a lack of both income and the basic capabilities to live in dignity.
- The observance originated on October 17, 1987, at the Trocadéro in Paris, where the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was signed in 1948.
- In 1992, the UN General Assembly officially designated the day to promote awareness of the need to eradicate poverty worldwide.
- Option D, "Acting together to empower children, their families and communities to end poverty," was the theme for 2019.
- The 2023 specific focus was on "Decent Work and Social Protection."
