Human Rights and Poverty

April 1, 2006 - 12:00am

The National Anti-Poverty Organization (NAPO) has launched a campaign that tracks Canada's commitment to the United Nations International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. The Covenant states that every person has the right to an adequate standard of living, including the right to be free from hunger, to have a job, be paid fair wages and get an education. NAPO is asking for personal experience(s) of poverty in Canada to include in their report to the United Nations.
