Current Affairs - Important Days - Discussion

The International Day for the Eradication of Poverty (IDEP) is observed every year on October 17 to raise people's awareness of the need to eradicate poverty and destitution worldwide, particularly in developing countries. The 2017 theme 'Answering the Call of October 17 to end poverty: A path toward peaceful and inclusive societies' reminds us of the importance of the values of dignity, solidarity and voice underscored in the Call to Action to fight to end poverty everywhere.
