    International Day for the Eradication of Poverty 2025 Theme

    The theme for the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty (October 17, 2025) is:

    Ending social and institutional maltreatment by ensuring respect and effective support for families.

    This theme highlights a critical, often hidden, dimension of poverty: the systemic and societal mistreatment experienced by people and families living in poverty. It calls for a fundamental shift in how institutions interact with and support those who are struggling.

    Key Focus Areas and Concepts:

    • Social and Institutional Maltreatment: This refers to the stigma, judgment, and punitive practices families in poverty face in institutions designed to help, such as schools, clinics, welfare offices, and child protection systems. This can include:
      • Stigmatization and Discrimination: Being judged, blamed for their situation, and treated with disrespect based on appearance, address, or accent.
      • Intrusive Surveillance and Control: Practices like intrusive house checks, burdensome eligibility requirements for aid, and a general culture of distrust.
      • Poverty-Driven Family Separation: Policies and practices that, in effect, punish parents for their poverty, sometimes leading to the removal of children from their families.
    • The Goal: The urgent aim is to “put the furthest behind first and build institutions that help families stay together, thrive, and shape their own futures.”
    • Shift from Control to Care: The theme calls for a fundamental transformation of support systems, moving away from a model of control and surveillance towards one based on trust, respect, and collaboration.
    • Three Key Shifts for Action: The UN outlines specific shifts needed to operationalize the theme:
      • From Control to Care: Design services that begin with trust, reduce punitive conditions, and prioritize respectful, person-centered interactions.
      • From Surveillance to Support: Rebalance investments away from monitoring, judgment, and family removal toward comprehensive family-strengthening services. This includes income support, quality childcare, adequate housing, mental health care, and access to justice.
      • From Top-Down to Co-Created Solutions: Meaningfully involve families with lived experience of poverty in all stages of policy—from assessment and design to budgeting, delivery, and evaluation—to ensure policies truly reflect real needs and constraints.
    • Connection to Human Rights and SDGs: The theme emphasizes that poverty is a denial of dignity and human rights. By supporting families, the agenda contributes to the achievement of multiple Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 1 (No Poverty) and SDG 16 (Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions).
    • Foundation: The 2025 theme is based on global consultations with people who have lived experience of poverty and the organizations that work alongside them, ensuring that the agenda is grounded in their real-life efforts and struggles.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      What is the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty?

      The International Day for the Eradication of Poverty is observed on October 17 each year. It recognizes the struggles of people living in poverty and aims to promote global awareness. The day highlights the importance of human rights, dignity, and equality. It serves as a reminder that poverty is not inevitable but preventable. The observance encourages individuals and nations to work together to end poverty worldwide.

      Why is the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty celebrated?

      The day is celebrated to raise awareness about poverty and inequality across the world. It reminds everyone that poverty violates basic human rights. The event encourages global solidarity and commitment to support the poor. It also motivates governments to adopt stronger policies to reduce poverty. The day represents hope for a fairer and more inclusive world.

      When was the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty first observed?

      The day was first observed in 1987 in Paris, France. Thousands gathered to honor victims of poverty, hunger, and violence. The event was initiated by Joseph Wresinski, founder of the ATD Fourth World Movement. Later, in 1992, the United Nations officially recognized October 17 as the observance date. Since then, countries worldwide have marked the day annually with awareness programs and campaigns.

      Who was Joseph Wresinski, and what was his role in this observance?

      Joseph Wresinski was a French priest and social activist who dedicated his life to fighting poverty. He founded the ATD Fourth World Movement, an organization promoting human dignity and justice for the poor. In 1987, he inspired the first gathering at the Trocadéro in Paris to honor victims of extreme poverty. His efforts led to the creation of the commemorative stone for human rights and poverty eradication. His vision continues to guide global movements against poverty today.

      What is the significance of the date October 17?

      October 17 marks the anniversary of the 1987 Paris gathering for human rights and poverty awareness. On this day, people from different nations united to honor victims of poverty. It became a symbol of global solidarity and social justice. The UN later chose the same date for the official observance. It stands as a reminder of humanity’s shared responsibility to end poverty.

      How does poverty impact global development?

      Poverty slows down progress in education, health, and employment. It limits access to basic needs such as food, clean water, and shelter. Many children in poor families are forced to work instead of studying. This cycle of hardship keeps generations trapped in poverty. Addressing poverty helps achieve sustainable development and equal opportunities for all.

      What is the connection between poverty and human rights?

      Poverty is not only a lack of money but also a denial of rights. It deprives people of access to healthcare, education, and justice. The International Day for the Eradication of Poverty emphasizes dignity and equality for all individuals. Recognizing poverty as a human rights issue brings moral and legal responsibility to act. This approach encourages inclusive policies to empower vulnerable communities.

      What are the global efforts made to reduce poverty?

      Global organizations like the United Nations and World Bank lead major poverty-reduction programs. The UN’s Sustainable Development Goal 1 focuses on ending poverty everywhere. Many countries have adopted welfare programs, job schemes, and educational initiatives. Nonprofits and community groups also play key roles in local empowerment. Together, these efforts aim to build a fairer and more sustainable future.

      How can individuals contribute to eradicating poverty?

      Individuals can help by supporting local charities and volunteering in social programs. Donating resources or time to education and healthcare initiatives makes a difference. Advocating for fair wages and equal rights also supports anti-poverty goals. Awareness campaigns and social media engagement can inspire community action. Every small contribution strengthens the global fight against poverty.

      What is the overall message of the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty?

      The day’s message centers on solidarity, dignity, and equality for all. It reminds people that ending poverty requires collective action. Governments, organizations, and individuals must work together to address inequality. The observance also celebrates the courage of people struggling with poverty. Ultimately, it inspires hope for a world where no one is left behind.
