- I am in solidarity with all those who are fighting throughout
the world to eliminate extreme poverty.

- I want to contribute to promoting respect for the dignity of all
people, and their effective access to human rights.

- I want to join efforts to enable those living in extreme poverty
and exclusion to participate fully in their societies, including the
commemoration of October 17th, International Day for the
Eradication of Poverty.

- I ask all members of civil society, local and national
authorities, and the United Nations to:

* Consider those in extreme poverty as the first to take action
in the fight against poverty;
* Ensure that people living in poverty fully participate in the
development, implementation and evaluation of policies and
programmes that concern them and that are inspired by a
commitment to a world without poverty - a world where the
rights to family life, decent work, social, cultural and political
participation are respected;
* Support events organized each October 17th to ensure that
the participation of people with direct experience of poverty be
at the heart of the International Day for the Eradication of
Poverty.
* Participate in an ongoing, long-term dialogue with people
who, in refusing to accept extreme poverty, are building peace.
