Observing the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty

Today is the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty. This year, the theme celebrated is “Moving from humiliation and exclusion to participation: Ending poverty in all its forms.” Let us remember that poverty is a multi-faceted reality: aside from material deprivation, it also entails exclusion from the basic opportunities and liberties that allow human beings to flourish in their environment.
