National Theme 2026: Uniting communities to end poverty and guarantee everyone an adequate home
On the 17th of October each year, people gather at commemorations around the world in friendship and solidarity with those who face chronic and severe poverty, honouring their struggles and renewing a shared determination to build a world in which everyone’s human rights and dignity are respected. In 2026, the Irish national event will focus especially on the human right to adequate housing, meaning somewhere to live in security, peace and dignity.
Please join us for testimonies, music and song
Listen to the voice, experience & expertise of people living in poverty
