Understanding Poverty Poverty is often perceived differently than it truly is. Consider this perspective: - Poverty, except where there is a genuine lack of food and clothing, is more imaginary than real. - The shame associated with poverty—the fear of being perceived as poor—can be a significant and detrimental weakness. - In our current society, this shame often arises from prevailing fashions and societal expectations. Reflect on the real versus perceived aspects of poverty and how societal attitudes can impact our understanding of it. #Poverty #SocietalNorms #Understanding #PersonalGrowth #SocialAwareness

Still on Citizens' Engagement.. Poverty is a multidimensional process, extending beyond economic poverty, income poverty, or material poverty, which are significant. It also involves overcoming social exclusion, addressing what we call voice poverty, and tackling inequities in power distribution -( who has power, and who does not have). Addressing these multiple aspects of poverty requires the involvement of people themselves, using their own voices and knowledge. What is voice poverty? Voice poverty is about overcoming inequalities in power distribution. To effectively tackle these multiple aspects of poverty, it is essential for people to be involved, using their voices and knowledge. Citizen engagement is critical because it involves not only interacting with authorities and institutions but also mobilizing one's assets to build power within communities. This collective power enables people to act and make a lasting difference in their lives. #MultidimensionalPoverty #EconomicPoverty #IncomePoverty #MaterialPoverty #SocialExclusion #VoicePoverty #PowerInequities #CitizenEngagement #CommunityEmpowerment #LongTermImpact
