How to end it ?

POVERTY

A) If you had the opportunity, what actions would you demand of the United Nations Secretary General and why?

MY DEMAND : END POVERTY!

The UN’s plan to end poverty has been ineffective. Although it has decreased poverty in some countries, many parts of the world still remain deprived of necessary living requirements.

My demand is to begin taking drastic action to end poverty around the world. I propose we do this by creating a time span in which we will have set goals to achieve. For example, within a period of three years we should have decreased the amount of poverty by a minimum of 60%.

What is our world today?

Half the world lives on less than $2.50 a day.

More than 2 billion don’t have clean water or basic sanitation.

One quarter of humanity lives without electricity.

A billion people are unable to read a book or sign their names.

Every 3.5 seconds, a child dies from poverty.

Is this what the world has become, or are these civilized actions ?

Poverty leads to CRIME. Poverty leads to CHILD LABOUR.

Poverty leads to ENVIRONMENTAL DEGREDATION.

Poverty leads to BEGGING ON THE STREETS.

Poverty leads to VIOLENCE.

Poverty leads to

PROSTITUTION.

WE DEMAND PUBLIC AWARENESS

The UN should not stop creating awareness campaigns to include the people about this tragic subject matter. When we keep reminding people about this tragic issue they will never lose interest and won’t stop until good results have been amended.

Every time a poverty issue comes up you see how cooperative the people are, but after a few months, you notice that objective of saving lives and ending poverty has wore off, such as The Kony Project 2012.

In the first few months it was a subject that everybody was talking about. and progress has been made. But after that most people lost interest in the foundation, one reason being because the founder of the foundation was arrested because of inappropriate actions in public shortly after he uploaded the video. Another reason being, rumors going around that Joseph Kony has not been in the country since 2003 or that he is in near death because of sickness, some believed that it was fake, these rumors remain to this day unclassified as true.

The Kony 2012 shows how people make a fuss for the first period of time, but then lose interest afterwards.

Ending poverty is taking a step closer to world peace
