15 - 21 October 2017
Anti-Poverty week starts Sunday 15 October and ends Saturday 21 October.
The UN's International Anti-Poverty Day is Monday 16 October.
Everyone is encouraged to help reduce poverty and hardship by organising an activity during the Week or taking part in an activity organised by others.
The main aims of Anti-Poverty Week are to:
- Strengthen public understanding of the causes and consequences of poverty and hardship around the world and in Australia; and
- Encourage research, discussion and action to address these problems, including action by individuals, communities, organisations and governments.
Visit the Anti-Poverty Week website to find resources and gain ideas for organising an activity.
