Poverty is one of the most serious violations of human rights and stigma on human dignity. Poverty is rampant in areas and societies that are deprived of their fundamental rights. The persistence of poverty, including extreme poverty, is the major concern for the United Nations and, at its 72nd session, the General Assembly launched the Third United Nations Decade for Eradication of Poverty, under the theme: "Accelerating global actions for a world without poverty."
This agenda for transforming our world is very pertinent but at the same time highly ambitious. The theme stresses and promises to leave no one behind and reaching the furthest behind first. Government policies alone cannot create the social inclusion that is fundamental to reaching those left furthest behind and overcoming poverty in all its dimensions. Meeting this ambitious development agenda requires visionary policies for sustainable, inclusive, sustained and equitable economic growth, supported by full employment and decent work for all, social integration, declining inequality, rising productivity and a favorable environment. Eradication of extreme poverty for people everywhere are is a crucial task which is impossible to materialize through isolated actions but through revitalized global partnership. People living in poverty will take the floor and share their experiences, demonstrating how we can achieve greater social inclusion by enabling people from all walks of life to come together to respect the human rights and dignity of people living in poverty. It underscores the importance of reaching out to people living in poverty and building an alliance around their priorities.
Only by creating and nurturing a genuine partnership with people living with poverty will it be possible to build an inclusive world where all people can enjoy their full human rights and lead lives with dignity.
