It is true that poverty is largely a result of societal and economic factors, and that it is within our power as a society to address and alleviate poverty. Poverty is often caused by a combination of factors, including injustice, inequality, lack of access to education and healthcare, discrimination, and inadequate social safety nets. In many cases, poverty is the result of systemic problems and policies that create and perpetuate unequal opportunities and outcomes. Therefore, while poverty is not a natural disaster, it is a complex and serious problem that requires deliberate and coordinated action to address.
