People carrying items on their heads down a road for International Day for the Eradication of Poverty

The International Day for the Eradication of Poverty, observed annually on the 17th of October, is a United Nations day dedicated to raising awareness about the global issue of poverty and encouraging action to end extreme poverty worldwide. The day highlights the need for social justice, inclusion, and policies that provide better access to education, healthcare, and opportunities for the most vulnerable populations.

This day also provides a platform for individuals and organisations to discuss solutions to end poverty, share stories of those affected by it, and advocate for policies that address the root causes of economic inequality. By raising awareness and taking action, we can work towards creating a world where everyone has access to basic needs and the opportunity to thrive.

Here are some social media content ideas to engage your audience on the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty:
