Poverty has a stronger impact on children and women. Empowering women and creating better conditions for children’s growth results in greater and faster progress in poverty reduction. Humana People to People joins the rest of the world as it commemorates the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty. The International Day for the Eradication of Poverty is marked under the theme “Answering the Call of October 17 to end poverty: A path toward peaceful and inclusive societies”.
