　　Message on the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty

　　Twenty-five years ago, the world commemorated the first International Day for the Eradication of Poverty. Since then, nearly 1 billion people have escaped poverty, thanks to political leadership, inclusive economic development and international cooperation.

　　However, many are still being left behind. Over 700 million people are unable to meet their basic daily needs. Many live in situations of conflict and crisis; others face barriers in accessing health care, education and job opportunities, preventing them from benefitting from broader economic development. And women are disproportionately affected.

　　Eradicating poverty in all its forms and dimensions, as embodied in Goal 1 of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, remains one of the greatest global challenges and a major priority for the United Nations.

　　This year, as we celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, let us remember that ending poverty is not a matter of charity but a question of justice. There is a fundamental connection between eradicating extreme poverty and upholding the equal rights of all people.

　　We must listen to the millions of people experiencing poverty and destitution across the globe, tackle the power structures that prevent their inclusion in society and address the indignities they face. We must build a fair globalization that creates opportunities for all and ensure that rapid technological development boosts our poverty eradication efforts. On this International Day for the Eradication of Poverty let us commit to uphold the core pledge of the 2030 Agenda to leave no one behind.

　　国际消除贫穷日致辞

　　25年以前，世界各地纪念了首个国际消除贫穷日。自那时以来，由于坚持政治领导、实行包容性的经济发展和开展国际合作，近10亿人已摆脱贫穷。

　　然而，很多人仍掉了队。超过7亿人无法满足其日常需要。很多人生活在冲突和危机中;还有人在获得保健、教育和就业机会方面面临障碍，这使他们无法从广泛的经济发展中受益。妇女受到的影响尤其大。

　　《2030年可持续发展议程》目标1所提到的消除一切形式和表现的贫穷，仍然是全球最大的一个挑战，也是联合国的一个主要优先事项。

　　今年，在我们庆祝《世界人权宣言》通过七十周年之际，让我们记住，消除贫穷不是慈善问题，而是公正问题。消除极端贫穷和维护所有人的平等权利这二者之间有着根本联系。

　　我们必须倾听全球数百万陷入贫穷和赤贫的人的心声，解决阻碍他们融入社会的权力结构问题，并应对他们面临的侮辱。我们必须促进公平的全球化，为所有人创造机会，确保以迅速的技术发展推动消除贫穷的工作。值此国际消除贫穷日，让我们致力于坚守在《2030年议程》中作出的核心承诺，即不让任何一个人掉队。
