On Monday 17 October – the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty – the TUC’s Unemployed Workers’ Centres will host the annual TUC Poverty Conference. A number of different campaigns and charities have helped organise this year’s conference, which is looking at the myths and stereotypes around poverty. In this post, Dan Kenningham from ATD Fourth World looks at child poverty – what it is really like, not the stereotypes.
Hunger, stigma and education. These were the words that sprang forth when ATD Fourth World recently held a discussion on the theme of child poverty. The words were all the more forceful for coming from people with personal experience of poverty.
Being in poverty does not make one a bad parent. It is not that simple.
