The correct answer is: A. 11 December
International Day for the Eradication of Poverty is observed on 17 October every year. It was established by the United Nations General Assembly in 1993. The day is an opportunity for people around the world to come together and recommit to the fight against poverty.
The theme for the 2023 International Day for the Eradication of Poverty is “Accelerating actions towards a poverty-free future for all.” The theme highlights the need for urgent action to address the root causes of poverty and to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to live a dignified life.
The United Nations has set a number of goals for the eradication of poverty. These goals include:
- Halving the number of people living in extreme poverty by 2015.
- Achieving universal primary education by 2015.
- Promoting gender equality and empowering women.
- Reducing child mortality.
- Improving maternal health.
- Combating HIV/AIDS, malaria, and other diseases.
- Ensuring environmental sustainability.
- Developing a global partnership for development.
The United Nations has made significant progress in the fight against poverty. However, there is still much work to be done. Millions of people around the world continue to live in extreme poverty. The United Nations is committed to working with governments, civil society organizations, and the private sector to eradicate poverty and achieve a better future for all.
The other options are incorrect because they are not the dates on which International Day for the Eradication of Poverty is observed.
