« WHEREVER MEN AND WOMEN ARE CONDEMNED TO LIVE IN EXTREME POVERTY,
HUMAN RIGHTS ARE VIOLATED.
TO COME TOGETHER TO ENSURE THAT THESE RIGHTS BE RESPECTED IS OUR SOLEMN DUTY. »
Father Joseph Wresinski

I agree with this declaration - engraved on the Trocadero Plaza of Human Rights* (Paris, France) on October 17, 1987 - and feel part of this growing social movement to overcome persistent poverty that brings together human rights defenders from all countries.

* Site where the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was signed on December 10, 1948.
