Poverty is not a personal failure. Common myths and stereotypes about poverty cloud the structural and systemic factors that create and maintain it. Poverty is not a result of laziness, ignorance, or bad choices, but of inequality, discrimination, and exploitation. A radical shift in how we think about and address poverty and solutions based on dignity, justice, and solidarity are required.
