Poverty has often been pictured as attributable to the individual, but we should see it instead a failure of society. To combat poverty, we should not shame or penalize people in poverty. We should instead create an economy that is truly inclusive, in which each person is not considered a passive recipient of support, but an actor.
Reflect on how an inclusive economy that values diversity and the potential of each individual can transform the approach to combating poverty.
