Statement by the Director End Child Poverty on the Occasion of the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty (IDEP), 2021
On 17th October 2021, the world will commemorate the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty (IDEP). This year’s theme is: Building Forward Together – Ending Persistent Poverty, Respecting all People and our Planet. As with each year, at Arigatou International – End Child Poverty, this day is often an opportunity for us to promote awareness, build advocacy and take action to address child poverty. This is anchored on our broader ‘Together We Can End Child Poverty worldwide’ campaign.
