- Poverty is not a failure of the individual, but a collective failure - a setback for all society. To combat poverty, let’s build an inclusive society based on diversity and justice. Watch our video: youtu.be/31xY6rYiu2E @DeSchutterO
- Today I release my first annual report on the impact of COVID19 on people in poverty, scrutinizing the recent wave of social protection. I find that most measures are maladapted, short-term, reactive, and inattentive to the realities of people in poverty: bit.ly/2Fix7xx
- صدر اليوم تقريري حول #لبنان الذي يظهر أن الأزمة الاقتصادية - التي دفعت الملايين إلى هوّة الفقر - هي مسؤولية النخبة في البلاد وكان من الممكن تجنبها بالكامل. bit.ly/SREP-Leb #تغيير_مسار_لبنان

- 🇱🇧 Today I release my #Lebanon report. It finds that the economic crisis - which has plunged millions into poverty - is the responsibility of the country's elite & was entirely avoidable. 👉Read our press release : bit.ly/SREP-Leb #ChangeCourseLebanon 1/10
- #Bangladesh During my visit I travelled to Cox's Bazar & met #Rohingya refugees. The situation is desperate International donors must step up their response to this humanitarian nightmare The Gov must recognize the right of Rohingya to take up employment #SRvisitBangladesh

- The recent lifting of subsidies on medications in #Lebanon, without a plan for how people will afford them now, is as untimely as it is irresponsible. 5x or 6x price increases will lead to even more pressure on the already crippled healthcare system. bit.ly/3Foxgcf 1/5
- In Cox's Bazar #Bangladesh today to meet with and hear directly from #Rohingya refugees. #SRvisitBangladesh
- It is disturbing that, while the Rotterdam authorities state they are willing to enter into a "dialogue" with the UN, they seem to want to rush the project undisturbed. Moving on the basis of a fait accompli is not entering into a dialogue in good faith.
- Replying to @srpovertyTo eradicate poverty, we need to move away from an exclusive focus on economic growth to a renewed commitment to wealth redistribution and to the fight against inequalities.
