Poverty – A Form of Violation of Human Rights

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to outline the link between poverty and the variables associated with this social issue, access to public services and human rights. There is a strong link between the three aspects, given that individuals who are not able to meet their basic needs, or the ones who are at risk of poverty are more likely not to value the rights and freedoms they could enjoy. The perceived usefulness of certain rights decreases when individuals are not able to enjoy them for various reasons: lack of resources, poor education, or difficult access to public services. Ascribing value to abstract aspects such as human rights implies, first and foremost, the ability to grasp conceptual and ideal notions that transcend local culture, traditions, or customs of a particular community. The development of such perspectives implies a sustained effort to reach a relatively high civilisational threshold.
