About the Book
The fiftieth anniversary of the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights prompts a deep re-examination of the relationship between ‘development’ and the economic, social, political, and cultural rights that are enshrined within it. Chronic poverty is a blatant denial of the rights and freedoms that the international community once hailed as fundamental to human dignity and security.
The papers in this collection critically analyze various rights, including the right to food, adequate housing, safe employment, protection from sexual assault, and the importance of popular involvement in political processes that shape the lives of poor communities. This work calls for a broader understanding of human rights beyond the traditional frameworks, highlighting the intersection of poverty and rights denial, while advocating for a more inclusive approach to development.
