World Day to End Poverty

Why a World Day to End Poverty?

World Day to End Poverty continues three objectives :

• giving voice to the most deprived on the unworthy conditions they live in, their daily resistance and their aspirations
• mobilize citizens and public officials : in France in particular, it invites us to understand how everyone can act
• constitute a point of support for a fundamental struggle against poverty all year round

ATD Fourth World hopes that initiatives will multiply on all sides at the initiative of associations, elected officials and citizens.

The theme for 2023 East : “Dignity in action: decent work and social protection“.
