What is the theme of the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty for 2022-23?

A Acting together to empower children, their families and communities to end poverty.
B Dignity for all in practice.
C Accelerating global actions for a world without poverty.
D Coming together to end poverty and discrimination.

Correct answer: (b) Dignity for all in practice.

Explanation

  1. A

    Acting together to empower children, their families and communities to end poverty.

    Option (a) claims the theme was acting together to empower children, their families and communities. This theme actually belongs to a previous observance of the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty, making it incorrect for 2022-23.

  2. B

    Dignity for all in practice.

    Option (b) claims the theme is dignity for all in practice. This statement correctly identifies the official United Nations theme designated for the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty for 2022-23, making it the right choice.

  3. C

    Accelerating global actions for a world without poverty.

    Option (c) claims the theme was accelerating global actions for a world without poverty. This represents a slogan or theme from a different global anti-poverty campaign and is not the official 2022-23 theme.

  4. D

    Coming together to end poverty and discrimination.

    Option (d) claims the theme was coming together to end poverty and discrimination. This option incorrectly mixes phrasing from past observance goals rather than the exact official UN theme.

Summary. Official key is (b) Dignity for all in practice. The International Day for the Eradication of Poverty is observed annually on October 17th. Each year, the United Nations adopts a specific theme to direct global awareness and action. Option (b) matches the precise official UN theme for the 2022-23 period. The other options refer to themes from different years or related campaigns.
