2022 #EndPoverty Day Messages
The International Day for the Eradication of Poverty was commemorated this year at the United Nations Headquarters in New York.
A big thank you to everyone for joining us both in person and virtually! Many children joined us to imagine a future without poverty. It was a truly meaningful time of coming together and recommitting ourselves to the fight against poverty.
The commemoration was filled with powerful messages, music, poetry, and symbolic gestures to stand in solidarity with people who are facing the struggle and exclusion every day.
Statements included a video presentation from people with an experience of poverty taking action in Burkina Faso, a video with statements and efforts of children, and statements presented in person by activists with an experience of poverty and United Nations and member state representatives.
Below are a few of those that were presented in English.
