Earlier this year, ATD Fourth World IMF World Bank co-hosted the Hidden Dimensions of #Poverty conference to better #kNOwPoverty . Hear from participants on their experiences and thoughts on poverty and what they hope to see moving forward. wrld.bg/p6f750Rjctf

Today an amicus brief was filed in the US Supreme Court in Grants Pass v Johnson by me and the SR on Extreme Poverty Olivier De Schutter. Punishing homelessness constitutes cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment, and a gross denial of right to adequate housing. A double punishment.

🇨🇴My next country mission will be to #Colombia at the end of August.

In preparation, I am seeking input on the situation of #poverty in the country, as well as any suggestions for my visit. All submissions gratefully received.
