Poverty as lack of power? Livelihood Rights and Poverty
Eradication
|
Public Debate
|
| |
September 1; 18h15-20h00; Boell Forum -- Poverty
as lack of power? Livelihood Rights and Poverty Eradication;
Debating the Jo'Burg Memo/Theatre Fair Wealth. Poverty
derives from a deficit of power rather than a lack of money.
Far from being needy persons awaiting provisions, the poor
must be seen as citizens who are constrained by a lack of
rights, entitlements, salaries, and political leverage. Any
attempt, therefore, to mitigate poverty will have to be centered
on a reinforcement of rights and opportunities. Every evening
during the World Summit, the Boell Forum will witness an unusual
combination of two events: a short theatre play and
a subsequent debate on the themes of the Jo'Burg Memo,
featuring the key challenges for the World Summit. The same
play will be performed every day, while the debate will have
a different focus each evening. MORE
