It is the extreme condition of being poor. In today’s life poverty is a big issue both individually and globally. There are poor people everywhere. Some countries don’t have food or clean water. The causes of poverty are connected to all of the UN Global Goals. If we want justice for the poor we should try to act on these goals wherever we are. Sometimes it is as simple as sharing with your neighbor

Hunger is the leading cause of death in the world. The world is wealthy with resources but certain people are denied access while others have too much access and consumption. We live in a world with resources but with unequal access.

Whats is good health and Well-being ? Access to doctors and medicine and other health resources such as education. Depending on the region where you live you may have a higher risk to your health because of less access to these resources. In the past 15 years the numbers of children dying by diseases and other health issue has been cut in half because they have been a focus of global health advocacy by organizations and individuals who care about future generations.
( Any citizenship begins with education. If we want to ct as global citizens we need to educate as global citizens)
What is Quality Education? Education is most important factor in this world to insure access and ability of individuals to have fulfilling lives. It unlocks the true mind and expands it too. Without education no opportunities are open for anyone. Some countries struggle with education. Actions to fix this include sending out volunteering teachers to other countries.

ELIMINATE FORCED MARRIAGES AND GENITAL MUTILATION
Eliminate all harmful practices, such as child, early and forced marriage and female genital mutilation.

Gender bias is undermining our social fabric and devalues all of us. It is not just a human rights issue; it is a tremendous waste of the world’s human potential. By denying women equal rights, we deny half the population a chance to live life at its fullest. Political, economic and social equality for women will benefit all the world’s citizens. Together we can eradicate prejudice and work for equal rights and respect for all.
I feel it is important because many people do not know bout this, but, it is really happening. It might not be in the USA but it is happening in other countries.
