On 17 October 1987, Simone Veil unveiled the #EndPoverty Stone on the #HumanRights plaza at Trocadero, Paris. She was the very first to read loud the pledge which became the annual #HumanRights call of @UN #EndPovertyDay each 17 October. 39 years later, @RoxanaMinzatu @EU_Social just launched the first-ever EU #AntiPoverty Strategy. To honor the legacy of Simone Veil, let’s make sure that the Strategy integrates again a #HumanRights approach calling on EU Member States to fully ratify the @coe Revised #EuropeanSocialCharter. #RESC30 #SocialRightsMatter to #EndPoverty and #LeaveNoOneBehind. @CoESocialRights @alain_berset @CoE_Education @CoE_children @CoeYouth @EU_MarioNava @DeSchutterO @ATDIntPresident @ico17president @ATD4thWorld @EURightsAgency @MaritMaij @srpoverty
Rights at work. Equal pay. Protection from discrimination. It feels natural to have these rights today, but that wasn’t always the case. It took people like Simone Veil to fight for them. We honour her legacy with 👇 🩵European Pillar of #SocialRights 🩷Anti-Poverty Strategy

Let's make #EuropeDay an #EndPovertyDay! Let's move towards an #EUpovertyFREE! #TimeIsNow to #EndPoverty! We are 4 days ahead of #May6 and the launch of the @EU_Commission #AntiPoverty Strategy! Too often, poverty is reduced to income alone. But this narrow view overlooks the broader reality. Poverty is structural and multi-dimensional. If the EU Anti-Poverty Strategy is to be effective, it must reflect this full picture and be grounded in the lived experiences of people facing poverty. Among others proposals, the Coalition on the EU Anti-Poverty Strategy calls for a definition that recognises the complexity of poverty and puts people at its centre. 👉 Read the full joint statement: eurodiaconia.org/wp-content/…
