Significant poverty reduction requires a concentrated and co-operative effort by all levels of government. It cannot be done by charity and emergency relief. Poverty must be seen for what it is, namely, a serious violation of human rights. It is an affront to human dignity that deprives its victims of full membership and participation in our society. Therefore, poverty reduction must be seen not as charity work but primarily as a human rights remedy which governments have an obligation to implement.
