Agencia EFE summarises Elena Díaz Galán’s lecture at the 2nd International Campus City of La Laguna, where she argued that extreme poverty is not a matter of charity but an urgent human rights issue.

The report highlights the connection between democracy, human rights protection and poverty eradication, as well as States’ duty to prioritise the most vulnerable people and strengthen rights such as food, water, housing and an adequate standard of living.
