"The lack of basic security connotes the absence of one or more factors enabling individuals and families to assume basic responsibilities and to enjoy fundamental rights. The situation may become widespread and result in more serious and permanent consequences. The lack of basic security leads to chronic poverty when it simultaneously affects several aspects of people’s lives, when it is prolonged and when it severely compromises people’s chances of regaining their rights and of reassuming their responsibilities in the foreseeable future."

This definition was adopted by the UN Sub-Commission on the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights in s:The Despouy Report on Human Rights and Extreme Poverty.

In 2005 the World Bank defined extreme poverty as living on less than US$1.25 a day. This meant living on the equivalent of US$1.25 a day, in the US, buying US goods. In 2011, this means surviving on the equivalent to US$1.50, AUD$2 or 1 pound per day.

The eradication of extreme poverty and hunger was the first Millennium Development Goal, as set by 179 United Nations Member States in 2000. Economists and activists consider epidemic diseases (AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis) as crucial factors in and consequences of extreme poverty.

Extreme poverty is most common in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Descriptive writing essay, does this work?
Q. As I enter the room I gaze about. I see families, brought together to mourn for one of their own. Shrouded figures stand in line, but have they come for her, or for the buffet? The smell of cheese and funeral cake permeates the aira I feel ill. *People gorging themselves within sight of a body. They speak in unison to pay homage to one whom we adore, but there is no eulogy given, no one wonders why. I breathe in the sweet earthy smell of the leaves in my hand. I suddenly wish I were back in the forest again, crunching my way through the undergrowth; picking and choosing the best and the brightest. The leavesa I smile to myself. How many times had she so obligingly taken those leaves from my young hands, placing them in a vase as if they… [cont.]

It was pretty much an excellent performance aside from the wretchedness that was Torres' fist-half, studs-up lunge on Mark Gower at midfield. Just a dumb decision from the Spaniard, particularly more appalling considering he was the best player on the ...
