The learning started with the
discussion to whom we call a poor & poverty and concluded that being poor
or poverty is a state where basic needs & rights are missing. Poverty is
felt from the audio poem which pictures poverty as a fatal disease through a
pregnant lady with load on her head and blood through her legs.
A poor isn’t responsible for his/her
poverty but the patriarchal society with the unjust exclusions, culture and
rules and the unjust , neo-liberised governance is responsible and is
practically understood through various case study of Fellows including Gita
lama, Manju, Mumtaj, Khusi, Bishnu and Bina KC.
Need based programme
cares the needs and just fulfills it whereas HRBA focus the root cause and the
liable party and works for the change which can leave the long term impact.
HRBA fulfills the needs but as the means to reach the end and so is the latest
approach to development for AA who initiated development in Nepal by charity
and welfare, then moved to basic needs/ service driven approach, then to
empowering communities, and now HRBA to development. HRBA is a perspective to define
role and advocate rights of PLiP for their just and dignified lives.
