The EU is working to eradicate poverty in all its forms - even the hidden ones.
Today, 1 in 5 Europeans are at risk of poverty or social exclusion. 1 in 4 is a child.
To address this, we’re proposing a package of measures:
✅ The first-ever EU Anti-Poverty Strategy
✅ Strengthening the European Child Guarantee
✅ Fighting housing exclusion
✅ Reinforcing the rights of persons with disabilities
Combating poverty and social exclusion is a moral and legal duty.
