Global Call to End Poverty
Every October 17 marks the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty. This observance raises awareness about the urgent need to end poverty and destitution globally. It commemorates the 1987 gathering at the Trocadéro in Paris, where Joseph Wresinski launched an appeal for human rights and solidarity. The UN General Assembly officially designated this day in 1992, highlighting poverty eradication as key to sustainable development and human dignity.
