DAYS OF SIGNIFICANCE
International Day for the Eradication of Poverty-The observance of the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty can be traced back to October 17 1987. On that day, over a hundred thousand people gathered at the Trocadéro in Paris, where the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was signed in 1948, to honour the victims of extreme poverty, violence and hunger.
